His name was Ivan Spanu, he was 47 years old and the motorcyclist who died this afternoon on the provincial road 44, which runs alongside the Nuragic site of Barumini , was from Cabras.
Drama that is added to drama: the victim was the brother of Nicola Spanu, who died two weeks ago, Sunday 2 October, while he was in a car that crashed into a tree on the road to Torre Grande ( here the news ).
Today Spanu, a worker, married, was participating in a motorcycle rally on his Kawasaki: he lost control of the vehicle, in a point not far from a curve, and crashed into the guardrail. The violent impact was fatal.
The incident took place in front of the eyes of his friends, who were following him not far away.
They tried to give him heart massage, waiting for the arrival of the helicopter rescue, but it was all in vain: the 118 aircraft left empty and a white sheet was spread on the road, during the surveys carried out by the carabinieri of the village station together with colleagues from the Sanluri company.
