He lost control of his car which, after hitting other parked cars, overturned.
The road accident occurred at 8.30pm this evening in via Tridentina in Nuoro.
The man who was driving was apparently unharmed and after getting out of the passenger compartment alone he tried to walk away. The causes of the accident are to be ascertained.
Some passers-by raised the alarm but when help arrived - a team from the Nuoro Fire Brigade was on site to ensure safety and the 118 health workers - it seems that the driver had not remained in the area.
State police cars were also on site for the ritual investigations, which intervened when the fleeing motorist was held back by other people and by the owners of the damaged parked cars, angry at the escape attempt. The officers stopped him and subjected him to an alcohol test.
