A minor accident occurred in the heart of Avellino, exactly along via Circumvallazione, where a 92-year-old driver collided with an 86-year-old woman who was crossing the street.
Despite the low speed of the car driven by the elderly man, the woman was hit and fell on the asphalt, fortunately without suffering serious injuries.
The emergency teams, in particular a 118 ambulance, promptly intervened at the scene of the accident to provide assistance. The woman who was hit was transported to the hospital in order to undergo further medical tests, even though she did not present any obvious injuries at first impact.
The officials of the Municipal Police of Avellino, who arrived promptly, conducted an investigation to clarify the dynamics of the event.
After careful consideration of the facts and circumstances, officers determined that the ninety-two-year-old driver's license should be revoked. This measure was also taken into account due to his advanced age and potential implications for road safety.
