Fatal accident in Ilbono , Ogliastra. An 88-year -old town elder, Antonio Lancioni , died after losing control of his Hyundai Galloper off-road vehicle and crashing off a cliff.
Transported by the 118 ambulance to the Lanusei hospital , the man died immediately after his arrival.
The incident occurred around 7 , when the elderly man was returning home from his farm in the countryside. According to an initial reconstruction by the police, the pensioner, who was walking along a very narrow road that connects the ring road to the town, probably dazzled by the sun , would have ended up off the road just in the stretch where there is a 20-meter escarpment .
The vehicle overturned and ended its run in the ring road below.
The 118 doctors arrived on the spot who gave him the first treatments and transported him to the Lanusei hospital.
His injuries were too serious: the man died at 8 at Nostra Signora della Mercede.
