Italy: 6 Russian tourists die in snowmobile crash

ITALIAN news reports say six Russian tourists were killed and two others were injured after their snowmobile slammed into a fence and flipped over into a ditch during a night run down an Italian ski slope.

RAI state radio reported early today that the crash occurred on an unlit slope late yesterday on Mount Cermis in northeast Italy. Victims' names were not immediately available. Cause of the crash was under investigation.

In 1998, a US Marine jet, flying low on a training run from a nearby air base, accidently sliced a ski gondola's cable on Mount Cermis, sending the cable car crashing to the ground and claiming 20 lives.
