Another accident paints the Italian motorways with blood: on the afternoon of June 26th yet another tragedy occurred. Shortly after 6.15pm on the A4 motorway, between the Roncade/Meolo junction and the Mestre ring road towards Padua, a woman lost her life after wheel of a lorry, which suddenly detached from the vehicle, hit the car he was driving squarely.
Although unusual, the dynamics of theaccident it immediately appeared clear, as well as devastating, to the investigators who immediately arrived on site. A lorry, which was proceeding towards Trieste, suddenly lost its left rear wheel. The tyre, making a series of bounces on the asphalt, went beyond the central barrier and ended up on the opposite roadway and hitting the victim’s car squarely.
The woman, a tourist of Austrian origins, didn’t even have time to react. The terrible impact with the wheel threw the car against the side safety barrier. The firefighters immediately responded to the scene San DonĂ who immediately secured the wrecked car and began the extraction maneuvers of the woman trapped in the wreckage. The truck’s wheel was later found in the grass, off the road, demonstrating how strong the impact was.
