A serious accident was avoided thanks to the timely intervention of the authorities, after a driver with evident psychophysical alterations drove the wrong way on the Messina-Catania highway.
The images recorded by the video surveillance cameras of the Sicilian Highways Consortium document the dangerous event.
The individual, a 36-year-old man from the province of Enna with a criminal record, was driving a Fiat Panda. Under the influence of alcohol, he reversed direction near the Acireale junction, traveling more than 20 kilometers in the overtaking lane.
Only thanks to the prompt intervention of the Highway Police and a CAS traffic team, a potentially dramatic outcome could be avoided.
