(UTV|COLOMBO) – Rescue workers in Italy have found the bodies of three more people in the wreckage of Genoa’s collapsed motorway bridge, bringing the death toll to 43.
Three members of the same family recovered from a crushed car on Sunday. They were the last people reported missing from Tuesday’s tragedy.
A 200 meter section of the Morandi Bridge suddenly fell 45 meter, along with dozens of vehicles in busy traffic.
The collapse has led to a fierce debate about Italy’s infrastructure.
The company that operated the bridge has set up a fund for victim’s families. The government has set up a commission to examine the causes of the disaster.
On Saturday Italian President Sergio Mattarella and Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte led a State funeral for 18 of the victims in Genoa.
