Turning point in the terrible accident two days ago in Pirri : the driver of the car that hit a 43-year-old nurse , on the crosswalk in via Santa Maria Chiara, has turned herself in .
This morning, together with her lawyer, she showed up at the offices of the Local Police who had traced her to her thanks to the investigations . The woman, a 34-year-old taxi driver living in Sinnai, will be reported . She is defended by the lawyer Carlo Monaldi. Any precautionary measures could be triggered if other elements emerge or if - the hope is that this obviously does not happen - the health conditions of the injured person, who is still hospitalized in serious condition at Brotzu, worsen.
The municipal officials got to work immediately. Thanks to some car parts left at the accident site and some testimonies, they had an idea of the model of the pirate car, in addition to the images from the cameras . The collaboration with the Scientific Police is also important.
This led to a rented Fiat Panda . And in the end it was traced back to the woman . After a first visit last night, today he decided to present himself at the local police headquarters.
She explained that she had returned from her work shift and left the taxi at the office and then took the car: she reported that she had fallen asleep and had not seen the woman . The Fiat Panda, found in Pirri , was seized and DNA tests on the steering wheel were ordered by prosecutor Danilo Tronci.
The nurse was hit in via Santa Maria Chiara (at the intersection with via Calamattia), around 7 in the morning . The woman had left the house, like every day, to go on shift at the hospital. Then the crash. She was found on the ground near the pedestrian crossing , and her condition immediately appeared desperate . The emergency services probably intervened late precisely because the driver of the pirate car did not stop and the alarm was raised later by those who saw the woman on the ground.
