Italy Floods: Bridge Collapse Kills Three

Severe rainfall in Italy has claimed the lives of at least three people after the car they were in fell off a collapsed bridge in Tuscany.

Severe flooding has devastated the region and neighbouring Umbria over the past two days, with rivers breaking their banks in several areas.

The trio, who have not been identified, were killed near the town of Grosseto.

It is not clear if their vehicle drove off the bridge or was caught on it when it collapsed.

Venice, pictured here on November 11, has also been hit by heavy downpours

One man died on Monday and more than 100 were forced to flee their homes and take refuge in emergency shelters.

Thousands have been left without power after the towns of Albinia and Orbetello were cut off by rising waters.

The governor of Tuscany, Enrico Rossi, has asked for help from the army to tackle the flooding.

Parts of northern Italy, including the historic city of Venice, have also been hit by heavy rain which has placed a severe strain on drainage systems and other infrastructure.
