Three people have been killed in a car accident in a tunnel in Monaco. A car crashed into the wall of the tunnel in the city center early Saturday morning and caught fire, authorities said.
Massive smoke drifted into adjacent residential buildings, from which a dozen residents had to be evacuated. Only the occupants of the car were saved by firefighters. No other cars were involved in the accident.

The tunnel will initially remain closed, the ministry said. The Louis II tunnel where the accident took place is part of the Formula 1 circuit in Monaco.
As the newspaper “Monaco-Matin” reported, the fire brigade was deployed with 30 troops. Two residents affected by the smoke were taken to hospital. Police experts are trying to clarify the course of the accident.
