Serious accident on the trunk road 131, in the Porto Torres area, on the border with the municipality of Sassari. The violent collision between two cars left three women and a man injured. The oldest, 82 years old, was transferred by air ambulance to the Santissima Annunziata civil hospital in Sassari.
According to an initial reconstruction, a Fiat Panda with four people on board, exiting a ramp on the lorry, made a mistake and risked a U-turn to take the road towards Alghero. Just at that moment a Fiat 500 arrived from Sassari and proceeded towards Porto Torres.
The clash was inevitable. The 82-year-old woman, Francesca Tanda, was thrown out of the car and immediately rescued by the health workers of the 118 medical service, who proceeded to transfer the still conscious pensioner to the helicopter. He suffered a serious head injury. Two other women were transported to the Sassari emergency room. Another ambulance provided first aid to the injured man, but without serious consequences.
On the spot the firefighters of the Porto Torres detachment who supported the medical team and made the road safe. The traffic police were also present for the reliefs and the reconstruction of the dynamics. For over an hour, traffic was slowed down.
