Two trams collided at the Gazzi terminus. Probably due to an illness, the driver who was entering the terminus lost control of the vehicle which crashed into another car. The man was transported by ambulance to the Polyclinic. No other person was hurt because the two vehicles were completely empty. However, the damage to the vehicles was extensive. The tram service is suspended from Villa Dante to Gazzi in both directions.
