Somma Vesuviana. No punishment would be commensurate with their loss, but the family of Pasquale La Rocca D'Avino will at least be able to provide him with some justice.
Il Public minister of Nola Public Prosecutor's Office dr Patricia Mucciacito, holder of criminal proceedings for the tragic car accident happened the March 25, 2022on 'Highway A16 and cost the life of the forty-two years old di Somma Vesuviana, at the conclusion of the preliminary investigations has requested indictment for EP, 57 years old, Avellino, charging him the exclusive responsibility of the accident: he will have to answer for the crime of road murder, With the 'aggravating to have caused serious injuries also ad other people.
Recognizing the request, the preliminary hearing judge of the Nola court , Dr. Lucio Aschettino , has set the preliminary hearing for Friday 24 February 2023 , from 9 am, at the Palace of Justice in Piazza Giordano Bruno, of a trial from which the victim's relatives , who have entrusted themselves to Studio3A-Valore SpA , expect answers.
As is sadly known, on that "cursed" afternoon, at 18.15 pm, the innocent Pasquale La Rocca D'Avino was calmly driving along the A16 westbound carriageway in the Naples-Bari direction , driving a Fiat 600 with a thirty-seven-year-old woman from Marigliano on board , and had correctly slowed down due to a minor accident in front of him with no injuries.
But suddenly, at km 20+740, in the municipality of Casamarciano , his small car was hit from behind by EP 's Mercedes B-Class , which was traveling in the same direction , at an estimated speed of 108 km/h , unleashing hell and triggering a disastrous multiple-car collision . Following the extremely violent impact from behind, the 600 was pushed into the vehicle in front , an Alfa Romeo Giulietta , which in turn was thrown forward, rear-ending a Chevrolet Aveo.
Somma Vesuviana, trial for the death of Pasquale La Rocca D'Avino
Unfortunately, the forty-two-year-old was the one who fared the worst, dying practically instantly due to the very serious cranial trauma he suffered in the repeated impacts on his car, which was reduced to a pile of metal : the other occupants of the cars , however , were "miraculously saved" , some of whom, however, suffered serious injuries, starting with the passenger of the 600 , who was transported and admitted with a reserved prognosis to the Moscati hospital in Avellino.
The Deputy Prosecutor accuses the driver of the Mercedes, who was immediately registered as a suspect , of having caused the death of La Rocca D'Avino, to quote his request for indictment , " through negligence, incompetence and in violation of the rules on road traffic regulation ", having engaged in " dangerous, inattentive and negligent driving and failing to maintain a safe distance between vehicles, thus hitting the Fiat 600 in front of him ".
An even more serious and incomprehensible fact, considering that it was a beautiful day and that at that time of day on a spring day the sun was still out and visibility was excellent , and “ it occurred due to the exclusive incompetence of EP who failed to behave in a prudent manner by not adjusting his speed to the road conditions and in such a way as not to constitute a danger to traffic, failing to monitor the safety distance ” continues the magistrate, on the basis of the kinematic report on the accident entrusted to the engineer Guido De Joanna , who concluded his report by attributing the cause of the accident “ solely to the driving conduct of the accused ”.
Engineer Carmine Matrisciano also participated in the expert investigations as a technical consultant for the injured party, provided by Studio3A-Valore SpA , a company specializing nationally in compensation for damages and the protection of citizens' rights. The victim's family , through legal counsel Dr. Vincenzo Carotenuto , entrusted the investigation to shed full light on the accident and seek justice. The team, together with Vincenzo Cortellessa of the Santa Maria Capua Vetere Bar Association, represented the criminal portion.
Pasquale La Rocca D'Avino left behind in immense grief his mother Carpinella and his four siblings Luigi, Carolina, Annamaria and Patrizio , as well as his nephews to whom he was very close, who will join the lawyer Cortellessa as civil parties at the hearing on February 24.
