At least nine Romanians were wounded in a major subway crash in Rome on Tuesday. The Romanian Consulate to the Italian Capital stated for HotNews.ro that the nine were all hospitalized in the San Giovanni hospital in the city.

The total number of Romanian citizens wounded in the car crash is yet unknown as checks continue other hospitals where victims of the accident have been sent.

Some 250,000 Romanians live in the Italian capital, according to official figures.
