Yet another traffic accident at the dreaded intersection leading to the Putzu Idu sea. Fortunately, the two drivers were only slightly injured, but the danger of that at-grade intersection remains. And the Province promptly reassured them: "We have a project ready to build a roundabout and eliminate the at-grade intersection between Provincial Roads 10 and 11," stated extraordinary administrator Battistino Ghisu.
The impact was extremely violent. A Volkswagen and a Kia Niro collided, possibly due to a failure to give way . The driver of the small car was the worst hit and was rescued by emergency workers and taken to the hospital. The other driver suffered minor injuries. The firefighters and Carabinieri from the Oristano Mobile Radio Unit also responded to the scene.
The accident has brought up the safety issue again. "I immediately took charge of this intersection," Ghisu explained. "With the director Giuseppe Pinna and the traffic technicians, an urgent intervention was agreed upon, and between tomorrow and Monday, the executive project for two roundabouts will be approved. One at the at-grade intersection between Provincial Roads 10 and 11, and the other between Roads 1 and 60 at the intersection of Nuraxinieddu and Baratili. The cost of the works is 648,000 euros; we will put them out to tender immediately."
