A tragic incident unfolded in Milan as a tram derailed, resulting in one fatality and numerous injuries. The chaos began when the tram, in a swift turn from Viale Vittorio Veneto, took a sharp corner too quickly, causing it to derail. One witness recounted the harrowing experience to Ansa news agency, describing it as an earthquake that sent him and other passengers tumbling to the floor. The tram's subsequent collision with a traffic light and a restaurant window further exacerbated the situation, narrowly missing a delivery rider and a young man on the pavement. A female passenger, who had boarded at the first stop, Piazza della Repubblica, recounted how the impact sent her crashing into the driver. Anna, a 27-year-old nearby office worker, recounted hearing an enormous bang and witnessing the tram's intrusion into a shop. Civil protection teams swiftly responded, setting up a tent to assist the injured. The cause of the derailment remains under investigation, with media speculation pointing to the tram's rapid turn as the primary factor.
