Russian investigators Saturday said three people were killed after a truck exploded on its bridge linking Moscow-annexed Crimea to the mainland, adding that the owner of the vehicle had been identified.
“According to preliminary information, three people were killed,” Russia’s investigative committee said in a statement.
It said they were likely to be “passengers of a car that was near the truck that exploded.”
The statement said the bodies of two victims — “a man and a woman” — had been lifted out of the water.
It said their identities were being confirmed, giving no details on the third body.
