Two people were killed and around 40 others injured after a tram derailed in central Milan on Friday, according to a spokesperson for local firefighters.

The accident occurred on Vittorio Veneto Street, near the city’s Central Station, when the tram — one of the newest models operating in Milan — came off the tracks and crashed into the window of a nearby shop.

Emergency services responded quickly to the scene, deploying 13 ambulances to assist the injured. Civil protection teams also set up a temporary tent to provide medical assistance, a Reuters eyewitness reported.

Milan’s public transport operator, Azienda Trasporti Milanesi (ATM), said it was “deeply shocked” by the incident. In a statement, the company expressed its sympathy to the victims and their families and confirmed it was cooperating with authorities to determine the cause of the derailment.
