A man was crushed to death when a giant crucifix dedicated to Pope John Paul II collapsed and fell on him, ITV News reports. The accident came just days before a historic canonization that will see the late pope declared a saint.
The
98-foot-high wooden and concrete cross fell during a ceremony in the
Italian Alpine village of Cevo on Thursday, killing 21-year-old student
Marco Gusmini. Another man was taken to hospital.
The structure was dedicated to John Paul II on his visit to the region in 1998.
