A bus carrying about 50 Ukrainian refugees overturned on a major highway in northern Italy at dawn on Sunday, killing one person.
Italian state radio said a woman was killed and several others were several injured in the accident on the A14 autostrada near Forli', a town in the Emilia-Romagna region in northeastern Italy.
Likely, the rest of those aboard were safely evacuated, according to the report.
Italy's Interior Ministry revealed that the bus had set out from Ukraine and was heading south to Pescara, an Adriatic port city, when it overturned.
Moreover, the ministry affirmed that the passengers were taken to a nearby police barracks for initial assistance, and would later resume their journey.
Notably, around 35,000 Ukrainians fled the war with Russia in their homeland and entered Italy, most of them through its northeastern border with Slovenia.
What caused the bus to overturn was under investigation.
