Fatal accident in Nuoro : an 88-year-old man, Nino Deriu, was mowed down and killed by a car as he was crossing the road in via Funtana Buddia.

Unfortunately, the resuscitation attempts by the 118 rescuers, who immediately arrived on the spot, were useless.

The dynamics have yet to be reconstructed: the surveys are carried out by the local police of the capital of Barbagia.

According to initial information, the elderly man was on the crossroads, but the motorist would have had reduced visibility due to the fog

The victim, a former employee of the Bank of Italy, was originally from Bortigali but had lived in the area where the accident took place for some time.
