Emergency responders arrived to find the overturned oil truck lying on the road. Under the oil truck they found the bodies of the two foreigners along with their motorbike.

Two Italian tourists were identified as Ms Ilaria Risso and Mr Giuliano De Santis.

They were travelling with four others friends who were following them on their motorbikes as they watched the accident unfold.
