The Carabinieri saw the BMW speeding along and followed it, keeping their distance, with sirens and lights on, also in an attempt to alert other drivers to pay attention to the speeding vehicle.
After a short time, the fleeing car crashed into the car in which Bruno Ansaloni was traveling with his wife: the two were on their way to pick up their son from a party. Ansaloni, an agricultural entrepreneur, died instantly, she, 52, is hospitalized, with a reserved prognosis, at the Maggiore Hospital in Bologna where she underwent surgery.

"A piece of news that shocked everyone. Ansaloni was very well known, very involved in the life of the parish and his is a beautiful family", commented the mayor of Sant'Agata Bolognese, Giuseppe Vicinelli.
