Tragedy this morning in Bergamo , where a 19 year old boy , Zaccaria Belatik, of Moroccan origin, was hit and killed by a bus .
The accident happened at 8.40 in Piazzale Marconi, the crossroads of the bus, railway and tram stations. The young man was with the scooter, which he was pushing on foot at the time, and was hit by the bus which - according to what has been reconstructed - he was reaching to get on with his friends.
The 118 vehicles arrived on the scene, but there was nothing that could be done for the 19-year-old: the driver, who was unharmed but in shock, would not have seen him and dragged him for a few meters .
The friends who were with Zaccaria and who witnessed the tragedy from a short distance were also in shock . The small group wanted to reach another area of Bergamo, the Borgo Palazzo district, to have breakfast: however, given that the first tram was still 10 minutes away and that they noticed the line 8 bus arriving at the same time, they had opted for the bus and they started running trying to catch him.
