A 21-month-old girl was killed instantly on Friday when a shelf laden with cardboard pizza boxes fell on top of her in a supermarket outside the Sardinian capital, Cagliari.
The tragedy occurred at a wholesalers in the town of Elmas where the child was shopping with her parents. The toddler's pregnant mother was pushing the child in her stroller when the shelf toppled onto her.
Emergency services were unable to save the girl. Her parents were both taken ill at the scene.
