He hit a scooter carrying two minors, causing them to fall to the pavement, and then sped off without stopping to provide assistance. A few days after the accident, the Carabinieri were able to identify the alleged perpetrator and report him to the judicial authorities.
Late yesterday afternoon, March 9th, officers from the Operations and Mobile Unit of the Marcianise Company concluded their investigation into a road accident that occurred on March 2nd in Capodrise, on Via Piedipongola. Following the investigation, a 62-year-old man living in the Naples area was released and charged with road traffic injuries and failure to provide assistance.
According to investigators' reconstruction, the man was driving his car when he struck the motorcycle on which the two minors were riding. The impact caused the youths to fall onto the roadway. After the collision, however, the driver continued on his way without stopping to check on the children or to call for help.
The two students were subsequently transported to the emergency rooms of the hospitals in Caserta and Marcianise, where paramedics found contusions and widespread abrasions, which were deemed to heal in about ten days.
The Carabinieri's investigative work was crucial in reconstructing the events. By analyzing images from video surveillance systems in the area, examining license plate reading points, and interviewing several people with knowledge of the incident, the officers were able to reconstruct the accident's dynamics and identify the driver involved. Following their investigation, the 62-year-old was reported to the Carabinieri of the Marcianise Mobile Radio Unit, who notified the judicial authorities.
Two minors with abrasions and bruises that heal in about ten days, yet the driver's behavior seems incomprehensible because he didn't stop and didn't call for help. I hope the report will lead to clarification and accountability, but many open questions remain.
The reconstruction of the facts seems very precise thanks to the images and video evidence, but the question of failure to provide assistance remains, which should be avoided. In such cases, the car should be stopped immediately and emergency services should be called promptly so as not to leave the young people alone and injured without help.
I read the article and it seems that the man left without stopping to see the two boys. The police have reconstructed everything with the videos and license plates, but it remains strange that no one stopped him on the spot. The boys fell on the asphalt and then recovered in about ten days, but many details still remain unclear.
