The cyclist hit by a car on Via dell'Industria in Porto Torres is in a medically induced coma in the intensive care unit of Sassari Civil Hospital.
The man, Gavino Petretto, 70, from Porto Torres, was struck around 8:20 a.m. while turning onto Via Verdi on his bike, after a day of training for an important triathlon event in Barcelona, scheduled for the next few days. Doctors diagnosed him with multiple internal injuries, including facial and spinal trauma. The prognosis is guarded.
According to initial reports, the 70-year-old was riding his racing bike along Via dell'Industria in the direction of the port when he entered Via Verdi at the intersection in front of McDonald's and was hit by a Volkswagen Golf coming from the industrial area, which was turning in the same direction.
