Three people, including two German citizens, were killed in a serious car accident in Italy's Tuscany region, the fire brigade confirmed on Sunday.
The two German tourists are said to be a couple aged 61 and 68 from the southern German city of Augsburg, according to local media reports.
Six people were injured, including two children, according to the fire brigade.
A spokesman for the fire brigade confirmed that the couple had been travelling at high speed when their car approached a toll station on a motorway near the port city of Livorno, where it collided with two other cars queuing at the toll booth.
The occupant of one of the other cars was also killed in the collision.
The Germans' car overturned and crashed into the toll booth.
Images of the scene showed cars lying upside down on the road and the toll station demolished.
Italian media reported that the employee working inside the booth was unharmed.
The exact circumstances of the crash are being investigated.
