The hypothesis of a crime of road murder against the woman who yesterday overwhelmed the cyclist Adriano Testone, on the state road 200, along the road that connects Sassari to Sennori, could be configured.
According to an initial reconstruction of the men of the Sassari traffic police, Franca Pintus, 40 years old resident in Sennori, perhaps for a distraction, while heading aboard a Clio Renault towards Sennori, just after the junction for Sorso, invaded the opposite lane and hit the 47-year-old cyclist who was making the climb towards Sassari.
The man died instantly: following the strong impact, he was thrown over the hedge and ended up on the ground of an olive grove. And despite the technical clothing and the helmet, the violent impact left him no way out. Internal injuries are too serious.
The woman didn't notice anything, she said she only heard a bang. In shock she was accompanied to the emergency room of the Santissima Annunziata. He only reported a few bruises.
The body of Adriano Testone is still available to the Judicial Authority for further investigations.
The prosecutor has launched an investigation to establish any responsibilities. The driver of the Clio, following the accident, had tested negative for alcohol and drugs.
