The Baldu bridge has been secured with barriers . This decision was made the day after the tragedy that killed Omar Masia , a 25-year-old electrician from Calangianus who was aboard a car that plunged about ten meters from the small bridge on the Baldu-L'Agnata road.
A flower was also placed at the scene of the accident to remember the young victim .
Meanwhile, the Tempio Prosecutor's Office's investigation continues, pursuing a dual track. On one hand , the driver's conduct, who tested positive for alcohol and is being investigated for vehicular homicide and negligent injury to the other injured parties. The young man is being represented by the lawyer Giovanni Azzena, and the victim's family has also appointed a lawyer, Nino Vargiu.
The defense of the young suspect has already confirmed that it will soon request a non-repeatable technical assessment of the road and the conditions of the bridge .
This is precisely the other line of investigation. It concerns the condition of the bridge, the signage, and, above all, that fragile guardrail , if you can call it that. At the site where the car skidded and fell from the bridge, there were only metal pipes attached to the low retaining wall. These pipes were rusty and very fragile, and could not have withstood the impact of the BMW Omar was driving.
Yet that road, under municipal jurisdiction, is very popular with tourists who want to reach L'Agnata, the famous farmhouse that was the home of Fabrizio De Andrè .
The victim's autopsy will be performed tomorrow at 2:00 PM in Sassari by coroner Daniela Casu. The injured are in improved condition, having been declared out of danger yesterday. Two of them even managed to escape from the overturned vehicle to a nearby house and call for help .
