There are three - and not four as previously reported by investigators - the nuns who died in the tragic road accident that took place yesterday evening on the A16 between Candela and Cerignola in the Foggia area. Ten are instead the wounded who were transported to the hospitals of Cerignola, Foggia and one in San Giovanni Rotondo.

The religious belong to the order of the Salesians of the Sacred Heart and were returning from Formia where they had participated in "spiritual exercises" to return to their respective institutes between Molfetta, Bari and Lecce.

The minibus in which the victims were traveling went off the road, probably due to a blown tire, and overturned.
