Two people were killed in strong winds in southern Italy that toppled trees and power poles. It is a 12-year-old girl and a worker. TASR informs about it according to the reports of the AFP and ANSA agencies.
The girl died after being hit by a falling tree in a seaside town near Bari. A 38-year-old worker died again after being hit by a street light pole, which collapsed on him under the force of strong winds while he was on a crane doing lighting maintenance near a cemetery in the city of Taranto in the Apulia region.
Italian civil protection authorities have issued warnings for nine regions in the south of the country from Sicily to the Adriatic coast, in which they predicted “strong” winds during the day.
