A four-year-old boy died late yesterday afternoon in Barletta after falling from a bike.
As far as we know, the child was sitting on the saddle of the pedal-assisted bicycle driven by his father who, while riding down a steep slope, lost his balance and fell . The impact on the child was terrible: he was most likely not wearing a protective helmet, and the head trauma left him no chance . The child arrived lifeless at the Emergency Room of the Dimiccoli hospital.
The bike was seized and investigators are examining the father's position.
Listen to the people who were at the scene of the accident, which occurred in Via Lattanzio, and who helped the child.
The police are investigating, coordinated by the Trani Public Prosecutor's Office.
