Italy highway accidents cause extensive traffic jams

A multi‑vehicle collision on the A4 near Vicenza caused a traffic queue of up to 10 km in the direction of Venice, with four vehicles involved but no injuries reported. Emergency crews secured the site and reduced the roadway to a single lane, urging drivers to consider alternative routes.

Separately, a two‑car crash on the A2 Mediterranean motorway between Atena Lucana and Polla led to severe slow‑downs. Police and medical teams responded, treating the occupants—among them a mother with an infant—but also reported no serious injuries. Both incidents disrupted traffic flow and required police management of the affected sections.
