In the next few hours, the Rome prosecutor will entrust a consultant with the task of analyzing the cell phone of Matteo Di Pietro , the twenty-year-old youtuber who was driving the Lamborghini SUV which collided with a Smart on Wednesday in Casal Palocco , causing the death of Manuel Proietti , a five-year-old boy , and the wounding of his mother and little sister.
The investigators' goal is to verify whether there are videos on the young man's cellphone taken in the phase preceding the impact, but also during or after it .
Di Pietro, who is under investigation for vehicular homicide and injuries , is part of TheBorderline group , author of challenges to be posted online.
After the accident, the police had also acquired the phones of the other people, three boys and a girl, who were aboard the Lamborghini.
In these hours, meanwhile, the judicial police are carrying out a series of hearings of witnesses, including those belonging to the collective . In the coming days, the mother of the child who was with him on board the Smart overwhelmed by the SUV will also be heard.
"One moment I was at the table watching Manuel eat, and a little later I saw my mother's car destroyed", the dramatic story of the father of one of Manuel's companions. He then describes the moments following the crash: «The greatest shame is that on Wednesday the boy driving the SUV was here, at the crash site, for four hours and did not shed a tear. I didn't see anyone desperate, neither him nor his friends: they were all serene, even arrogant. They thought about followers. They had a really crappy reaction: they smiled, they started making videos . When another parent saw what they were doing, she pointed out that there was a dying child in the hospital. They didn't have any reaction even at that moment, and there was a stir. Except that in the end the father was even reported for assault », says the witness again.
While the little boy's family remains closed in endless pain, Di Pietro risks arrest as he tested positive for the drug test, but the same decision could be made against his four colleagues with whom he was on the Lamborghini.
