A serious accident occurred this afternoon between Via Vico and Via Manara in Quartu. A car and a scooter collided for reasons yet to be determined at one of the most dangerous intersections in the city.
The scooter driver and passenger fared the worst. The twenty-year-old was taken to Brotzu Hospital with a red code injury with multiple compound fractures . Fortunately, his life is not expected to be in danger. The woman who was with him was taken to the Policlinico Hospital with a yellow code injury.
Local police officers arrived on the scene to conduct surveys and will now determine who is responsible. Workers from Sicurezza Ambiente were also present to remove debris and make the road safe again.
Some passersby who saw the boy on the ground also called for help. Because of the danger, the intersection of Via Vico and Via Manara is regulated by a double stop sign, but people often drive through without stopping or yielding right of way.
Double stop signs had been installed in several areas of the city to reduce speed. A similar accident occurred in recent days, with several injuries, at the intersection with Via Principessa Yolanda, also regulated by double stop signs.
