The man was admitted to the Cardarelli Hospital. The woman, however, was taken to the Ospedale del Mare, where doctors are doing everything they can to stabilize her condition. The accident occurred in broad daylight. The car, a black sedan, was driven by a 48-year-old man who immediately stopped to provide assistance.
