Naples. The video of a terrible accident that occurred around 4 am in via Cavalleggeri, in the Fuorigrotta neighborhood, was sent to the deputy of Alleanza Verdi Sinistra, Francesco Emilio Borrelli.
The images show a car overturned in the middle of the roadway with the windows smashed following the violent impact. The high speed is probably the cause of the accident. Road rescue and law enforcement intervened on site for the initial investigations.
“Fuorigrotta, like many other areas of the city, is increasingly becoming a real racetrack for street criminals. This time a car ended its race by overturning a few meters from a gas pump in the middle of the road.
Only chance meant that no one was injured, as seems to emerge from the first surveys. But what is certain is that the count of road accidents in the city caused by crazy speed, by people who drive while filming themselves with their cell phones or who engage in crazy competitions is no longer tolerable.
Not far from here, little Christian lost his life, hit by a car while walking on the sidewalk with his mother; Rita Granata, hit while crossing the street on Via Leopardi; Sara Romano, hit and killed by an SUV while returning from a nightclub; Francesco Altamura and Lucia Morra, hit and killed by a car while riding their scooter on Via Terracina.
We are tired of this painful count of victims of criminal madness. We must work first of all on prevention, and from this point of view the announced flop of the new highway code is confirmed, which has not solved any of the many problems of road safety.
"It is then necessary to immediately install speed bumps or speed reducers on fast-flowing roads”
as we have been asking for some time together with the victims' families, and we need to provide for more checks on the streets and very severe sanctions for those who get behind the wheel or ride a motorbike without any respect for the lives of others". This is Borrelli's comment.
