A 67-year-old, Luigi Passoni, was hit by a car this morning in via Bacaredda in Cagliari around 7 am. The injuries proved fatal and the man died shortly after the accident. From a first reconstruction made by the municipal police, he was crossing the road when he was hit by a white car whose driver, instead of stopping to give first aid and sound the alarm, fled.
The 118 ambulance arrived on the spot, but everything was useless.
Municipal agents set out on the trail of the "hijacker", a 23-year-old who finally turned up at the police station and was taken over by the local policemen for the formalities and legal assessments.
