This afternoon in Milan, a taxi was involved in a road accident when it crashed into a tram on Viale Corsica, near the Tre Ponti area. Reports indicate that the incident occurred as the taxi attempted to overtake another taxi illegally, which led it against oncoming traffic and into a direct collision with tram number 12 traveling towards Repetti. The tram, operated by ATM, was unable to avoid the accident as it was already on its designated tracks.

Fortunately, there were no severe injuries reported; four individuals involved in the collision refused medical attention after the crash. The accident area is notable as it had seen another incident just the previous day, where a tram experienced a minor fire, but thankfully this too resulted in no harm to passengers. The repeated incidents in the same vicinity raise concerns about safety and traffic regulations in the busy section of Milan.

The local authorities are likely to investigate the circumstances of this crash further to prevent future accidents. This incident highlights the ongoing issues with taxi drivers' adherence to traffic rules, particularly in busy urban areas like Milan, and the potential dangers posed not just to passengers but to other vehicles and public transport as well.
