Tragedy in the province of Salerno: Giuseppe Cannavacciuolo, a 47-year-old delivery rider, died in a road accident in Angri while he was working, making home deliveries on his scooter. Angri Mayor Cosimo Ferraioli also commented on the incident: " Yet another workplace fatality. Enough is enough ."
The horrific accident occurred last Friday evening on Via dei Goti. While making a home delivery on his scooter for a popular delivery app, the rider collided with an oncoming car carrying three 20-year-olds. Two of the passengers sustained minor injuries.
Law enforcement and emergency medical personnel arrived on the scene, but there was nothing they could do for Giuseppe: he died from the injuries sustained in the crash . The circumstances of the accident are still unclear; an investigation is ongoing, and footage from video surveillance cameras in the area may be used to clarify and reconstruct the entire event.
Condolences have been pouring in for the family over this terrible and untimely loss. The mayor of Angri, Cosimo Ferraioli, also expressed his sympathy, openly describing it as "yet another workplace fatality."
Many messages of condolence have been sent to the worker's family, shocked by the terrible news. The community is in disbelief. Angri Mayor Cosimo Ferraioli also expressed his condolences on behalf of the Administration: " Condolences to the family and loved ones of the 47-year-old rider, originally from Santa Maria La Carità, who tragically passed away in a road accident on Via Dei Goti, while carrying out his work late yesterday evening.
Another fatal accident, the details of which will be clarified in the coming hours. Yet another silent massacre forces us to reflect on the increasingly precarious situation of workplace safety in Italy, especially in a sector like delivery where, paradoxically, demand is growing, risks to safety are greater, and wages are increasingly low.
A country can be defined as civilized if it defends and protects the dignity of individuals at work and their sacrosanct right to safety, regardless of their occupation. But last night's accident, like the 1221 others in 2021 alone, demonstrates that Italy still has a long way to go and the time to act is increasingly short.
Once again, you leave home to go to work but it is not certain that you will return in one piece in the evening. This is the sad condition in which many workers find themselves living. Giuseppe died while working.
