Serious accident on the 131 Dir at the Cagliari exit . A car crashed through the guardrail, ending up off the overpass: the woman driver, 42 years old, remained trapped inside the passenger compartment – and was later transferred to Brotzu – while the man traveling with her was immediately transferred to the Policlinico in red code.
The emergency occurred at the junction with State Road 554, in the Selargius area, immediately after the speed camera installation.
According to an initial reconstruction, the car, which was entering the 131 Dir, violently hit another vehicle that was traveling in the same direction, towards Sestu. After the impact, the vehicle carrying the couple broke through the guardrail on the other side, flying about ten meters.
The 118 operators intervened to rescue the injured, with the support of the firefighters and an Areus helicopter.
The surveys are being carried out by the traffic police, while the local police of Cagliari took care of traffic management: the road was closed during the operations.
