A family destroyed in a terrible car accident on the way back to France after the holidays spent in Italy. A 45-year-old man and his 11-year-old son died while his father was trying to save the child in the rear-end collision in the Pavese , on the Piacenza-Turin motorway between the Casteggio and Voghera toll booths.
Both victims lived in Paris. The dynamics are incredible , the agents of the Alexandria traffic police built it. His 43-year-old wife and four children were traveling in the van driven by the 45-year-old Frenchman: three boys aged 15, 14 and 11, a girl of 4.
The vehicle stopped suddenly due to engine problems, when the 45-year-old got out to understand something a Mercedes with a Piedmontese family who was returning from a holiday in Campania hit the vehicle: a violent impact, which made the van overturn and the 11-year-old was thrown out of the cockpit, causing him to end up on the asphalt. The father rushed over to his son to try to save him, but as he was bending over him a third car came at full speed and overwhelmed him and the boy .
For the two there was nothing to do, while the car continued its run without stopping. The driver was stopped after several hours, he is an Italian motorist accused of road murder and wrongful death . Having escaped from the scene of the accident , he had left the A21 to continue his escape on secondary roads, but was nevertheless identified.
The other relatives of the victims were unharmed, the four occupants of the Mercedes in the first rear-end collision (two men and two women) were injured, but these are minor traumas that can be cured in a few days.
