"Annare, you will always be in all of our hearts. You destroyed us. We will never forget you. God took with him a girl who was too good. Now you deserve to be well forever. Be careful, little one, fly as high as you can."
"This heart is destroyed, fly as high as you can Annare', you're a beautiful angel." These are some of the messages multiplying on social media from friends of Anna Sommella, the 15-year-old who died in an accident last night in Giugliano.
A friend posted a photo of a bouquet of roses at the accident site: "I can't see that blood on the ground. It's so painful." Messages of support also went out for the victim's boyfriend, who was the victim's age and was driving the motorcycle at the time of the crash, and who was injured.
“You’re the nicest guy I’ve ever met,” friends write. “Be strong.” And again: “Get well soon.” “Don’t give up, we’re all here for you.”
The car into which the motorcycle with the two young men aboard crashed was driven by a 39-year-old man who had a revoked license. The collision occurred on Viale Pini Nord. Anna was thrown from the motorcycle and died instantly.
The other two suffered only minor injuries. They were charged with vehicular homicide. The two vehicles involved were seized. The driver of the car had been without a license since 2009. His license had been revoked because he was found driving under the influence of drugs.
According to the findings of the Licola Carabinieri, the car that struck the two young men on a motorcycle was also uninsured. The motorcycle, however, was found to be insured.
And while the young victim's family says they are "broken by grief" over the loss of "wonderful Anna," Giugliano's mayor, Nicola Pirozzi, is asking for a postponement of the controversy. "The death of young Anna is a tragedy that has shocked our entire community and left us dismayed. As the father of a 17-year-old girl, I am heartbroken.
Despite this, I urge everyone to refrain from creating unnecessary and inappropriate controversies. And don't talk about a killer road: that road," he explains, "was literally a 'dark forest' and was returned to the community a few weeks ago, with the road surface repaired and new signage. From what is emerging, it would appear that the drivers are also responsible, but this is a time for mourning, not controversy."
