"There was a man who was trapped under the tram, his arm was trapped, witness Valerio Gaglione told AFP. There were lots of people injured inside the tram. I saw an old man completely covered in blood."
"Prosecutor Marcello Viola, the lead investigator, said the tram's impact on the building was devastating. One victim was an Italian in his 60s, while the other was a foreign national who lived in the city, according to Sala. He added: It doesn't look like it was a technical issue, but was connected to the driver."
"I just heard an enormous bang, said Anna, who was in her office nearby when the crash happened. I saw a bit of the tram had gone into a shop, she added. One passenger told the ANSA news agency: I thought it was an earthquake. I was sitting and ended up on the floor, along with the other passengers."
A tram derailed and crashed into a building in Milan on Friday, resulting in two deaths and 38 injuries. One victim was struck by the tram during the derailment while the second was a passenger. Initial investigation indicates the driver failed to activate a track switch and reportedly ran through the final stop before the accident. Witnesses reported the tram was traveling at high speed. The impact caused significant damage to the building. One victim was an Italian in his 60s; the other was a foreign national residing in the city. Prosecutor Marcello Viola stated the crash appeared connected to driver error rather than technical malfunction. Emergency responders provided medical assistance to the injured.
