Venice: Tourist Killed In Gondola Crash

Written By Unknown on Sabtu, 17 Agustus 2013 | 23.18

A German tourist has been killed and his three-year-old daughter seriously injured when their gondola collided with a ferry on Venice's Grand Canal.

The man, 50, is thought to have been crushed between the two vessels near the historic city's famous Rialto bridge, according to a Venice fire brigade spokesman.

Rescuers attempted to revive him but he died shortly after the accident in hospital.

The little girl suffered a serious injury to her cheek and was taken to a hospital in Padua for treatment. The injury is not thought to be life threatening.

Venice fire chief of staff Giovanni Carlesso said the waterbus was either docking or pulled out of the Rialto stop and apparently did not see the gondola.

Ansa news agency said the man, his wife and three children fell into the water along with the gondolier during the accident with a vaporetto waterbus.

The force of the impact split the gondola in half, according to La Repubblica newspaper.

The area around the Rialto bridge is one of the busiest in Venice, with traffic created by waterbus and gondolas.
