A one and a half year old boy is hospitalized in serious condition after his grandfather hit him in the backyard while he was maneuvering his car.
It happened yesterday morning in Bibbiano, in the Enza valley in the province of Reggio Emilia. The baby was transferred to Parma, to the "Maggiore" hospital where he is still in the intensive care unit.
Desperate grandfather, a 69-year-old retired driver: "I could never think of killing my grandson."
According to an initial reconstruction, the man was leaving the driveway very slowly in his blue Fiat Doblò. Suddenly the little one, who had been let in from a side access shortly before by his mother and grandmother who were drying the clothes together, came out of the main door, going to meet the vehicle.
The impact was inevitable: "My wife screamed: stop! - says the grandfather - I was already practically stationary, while the child ran towards the car and bumped into it. It was very fast, so much so that I didn't even see him. In spite of everything, I managed to stay calm, together with my son, I drove in the car and we accompanied him to the hospital ".
