Tram derails and crashes into building, resulting in two deaths and multiple injuries

A tram derailed and crashed into a building in Milan, resulting in two fatalities—one passenger and one pedestrian—and injuring dozens more. The No. 9 tram swerved at a switch track along Vittorio Veneto avenue, with Mayor Beppe Sala indicating that human error may be to blame, as the driver failed to switch tracks. The driver, who had been on shift for only an hour and allegedly skipped a prior stop, will be questioned while receiving treatment for injuries sustained in the crash.
