RAI state TV quoted firefighters in Brescia as saying that five of the dead, including two children, were in a car, and the sixth victim was a truck driver. Firefighters were on the highway about a kilometre-and-a-half north of the crash site dealing with the earlier accident when the tanker truck caught fire. Thick, dark smoke was visible for kilometres. The crash took place on a highway between the city of Brescia and the town of Manerbio.
