The death toll from yesterday's accident in the Base Tunnel on the A1 motorway in Barberino del Mugello (Florence) has worsened. The death toll has risen to four, with the 4-year-old girl who was in the car also dying.
The little girl, who was traveling with the first three victims (her grandparents and an aunt), was rushed to the hospital, but doctors' attempts to save her life were unfortunately in vain.
The family's only survivor remains in serious condition, a 37-year-old woman, the mother of the child who died today, in the Panda that reportedly broke down in the tunnel and was hit by an oncoming truck.
Meanwhile, the truck driver who drove the vehicle that hit the car is being investigated for vehicular homicide .
Florence prosecutor Sandro Cutrignelli ordered tests on the victims, who were residents of Gravellona Toce, in the province of Verbano-Cusio-Ossola.
