Guarda la foto1 di 1 (ANSA) - Rome, February 28 - The Italian government is thinking of introducing a vehicular homicide law similar to those in many US states, Transport Minister Corrado Passera told the House Tuesday.
The law would apply to drivers who kill others while under the influence of drugs or alcohol, said Passera, who is also industry minister.
