Naples, child hit on pedestrian crossing at school exit in via Carlo Poerio

Naples. Serious incident of failure to comply with the highway code in C.so Vittorio Emanuele, in front of the Carlo Poerio school.

The 118 emergency services immediately intervened on the spot and checked the little boy's conditions: despite the impact, he seemed to be fine, but was nevertheless taken to the hospital. Santobono for investigations.

The accident, which caused damage to the windshield of the vehicle, occurred with a car driven by a woman who stopped to provide assistance. The driver, fortunately, was not going faster than 40 km/h, but the problem persists: the school area is a frequent scene of similar accidents.

In the last few months alone, several accidents have involved pedestrians, without effective measures being implemented to limit speed and ensure the safety of children, especially during school entry and exit times.

On site, by chance, was the deputy Francesco Emilio Borrelli (AVS), who expressed concern for the recurrence of these episodes and checked on the child's conditions with the medical staff. The accident underlines the urgency of concrete measures for the respect of the rules of the highway code and for the protection of pedestrians, especially in sensitive areas such as school areas.

The investment under the eyes of the deputy Francesco Emilio Borrelli

"The impact was strong but it seems that the victim did not suffer any injuries - says Borrelli - worrying. The issue remains of these wretches behind the wheel who do not respect signs and prohibitions even near a school with children in motion.

Some schools like Carlo Poerio would also need the presence of municipal police at least at the entrance and exit of school groups to discourage the impressive number of street rascals who don't even pay attention to children. Now we hope that in addition to the report for the investment there will at least be the withdrawal of the license for the protagonist of this story".
