The driver of the Scarabeo who hit a 90-year-old woman on a pedestrian crossing this morning and then ran away, turned himself in this evening to the local police station in Alghero.
He reportedly told the officers that he had been blinded by the sun and then, out of fear, he ran away. The young man, 25 years old, regretted his actions and then went to the Civil Hospital to personally apologize to the woman who had suffered a head injury from the nasty fall. Luckily, the unfortunate woman is not in danger of life and will get away with a few days of treatment.
The young man was reported for failure to provide assistance. Along with him, on the scooter, there was also another boy who will be questioned by the local police in the next few hours.
