Two young people died in a road accident that occurred in the late morning in Bellizzi, in the province of Salerno.
The two engaged couples, 26-year-old Pierpaolo De Martino and 22-year-old Marika Capacchione, who was celebrating her birthday today, were riding a motorcycle on the former SS 164 road towards Montecorvino Rovella when, for reasons currently under investigation, the vehicle collided with a car.
The girl died instantly, while the 26-year-old who was driving the motorcycle was rushed to the Ruggi d'Aragona hospital in Salerno, where he died shortly after due to the severity of his injuries.

The mayor of Montecorvino Rovella, Martino D'Onofrio, also commented on the incident: "There are no words to express the pain of the terrible tragedy that occurred this morning in Bellizzi, in which Pierpaolo and Marika lost their lives.
