One injured and two cars damaged. This is the balance of the accident that occurred this morning at 7.15 at the crossroads for Bancali, at the intersection between the ex 131 and the provincial road 56, on the border between the municipalities of Porto Torres and Sassari.
According to an initial reconstruction , the impact between the two cars would have been caused by a lack of precedence , in one of the most critical points where yet another collision is taking place. A Fiat Idea driven by an 82-year-old man, coming from the road to Platamona, as he entered the provincial road 131, probably without respecting the stop sign, would not have noticed that a Renault Scenic was arriving from Porto Torres. The violent confrontation was inevitable. The 82-year-old pensioner , extracted from the passenger compartment by the Porto Torres firefighters, was transferred with the 118 ambulance to the Sassari emergency room for checks. The agents of the Sassari traffic police were also on the spot to carry out the surveys useful for reconstructing the exact dynamics of yet another accident which could have serious consequences, due to the high speed and the lack of safety of the at-grade intersection, scene of accidents even mortals.
The construction of a roundabout is expected at the junction, thanks to a 600 thousand euro project planned by the Province to regulate traffic.
