Val D’Aosta, Italy (TSR, Fre) – The 81-year-old bus driver who was killed along with one other person when his bus missed a curve in the Italian Alps in October 2008 en route to a football match in Torino, was entirely at fault, the judge in the case has told TSR, Swiss television. The bus crashed into a house.

The vehicle was not found to be defective, but the driver was speeding, braking incorrectly and driving  innappropriately on the steep mountain roads near the St Bernard pass, the judge said. Twenty people were injured in the crash, said initial reports (TSR today says 15). The bus was carrying Juventas football club fans from Neuchatel and Vaud.
