Fatal accident around 9.30 this morning on state road 131, in the Macomer area near Campeda.
A truck, for reasons still under investigation, at kilometer 150 in the direction of Cagliari - after the junction for Mulargia - crashed into one of the New Jersey barriers present at the edge of the road due to roadworks, overturning.
The conditions of the driver, Filippo Ionta, a 48-year-old Roman, immediately appeared to be very serious, and the helicopter rescue arrived to transport him to the hospital . The injuries he sustained were too serious, and the man died.
The truck was completely destroyed and invaded the lane, without involving other vehicles. The first to intervene on site were the Anas personnel, followed by the 7A team of the Macomer fire brigade detachment.
In the impact, the guardrail that divides the two lanes was also damaged. For this reason, traffic towards Sassari is currently blocked, in addition to that towards Cagliari which was immediately interrupted because the truck lost all its load and spilled fuel on the asphalt. On this last lane, traffic is diverted from Semestene, on the alternative road to Macomer.
The fire brigade personnel are working on the complex operations of securing the articulated lorry , also with the help of a crane sent by the Oristano Command.
