(ANSA) - Lecco, October 28 - One person was killed and four injured including three children when an overpass collapsed onto State Highway 36 between Milan and Lecco Friday, sending an articulated lorry crashing down onto cars below. More victims are feared. The children were taken to hospital in code yellow, as was the fourth person hurt, the lorry driver. The collapse happened between Cesana Brianza and Annone, highway company ANAS said. Traffic was halted in both directions. ANAS said it had asked for the road to be closed before the collapse but the provincial government demanded a formal order.
