Hit full on by a motorbike , while he was trying to bring back a cow which, having left the company where he works, had invaded provincial road 24 which connects Posada to La Caletta .
It happened late in the morning, when a young man from Morocco was seriously injured.
The accident occurred on the outskirts of Posada , in the middle of a straight road. The 118 team intervened on site and, after stabilizing the victim, loaded him aboard the ambulance and rushed him to the San Francesco hospital in Nuoro.
According to the news received from the hospital in the Barbagia centre, the doctors found multiple injuries and several fractures . Despite widespread trauma throughout his body, fortunately his life is not in danger.
Things went much better for the motorcyclist, an Italian tourist, who was thrown from the saddle of his motorbike and suffered very minor bruises. To allow rescue operations, the provincial road was closed to traffic for over an hour and traffic was temporarily diverted onto other alternative routes.
After the terrible impact, rescue operations began promptly and together with the healthcare personnel, the firefighters stationed in Siniscola and a police patrol from the Torpè station arrived on the scene.
Once the two injured people had been taken away, the military immediately set to work to carry out the necessary findings and clarify the exact dynamics of the accident which, based on the first investigations, would be clear: the Moroccan, who works for a local farm, had rushed to the provincial road to recover the cow that had wandered away from the farm where it was kept.
He had been notified by the town's barracelli, who in turn had received reports of the animal's presence along the road where, moreover, traffic was very heavy at that moment. Once he arrived on site, while he was trying to take him back inside the company he was hit by the motorcyclist who, arriving from La Caletta, was proceeding in the direction of Posada. The impact was extremely violent and the unfortunate young man was thrown into the air and catapulted several meters before falling heavily onto the asphalt. The centaur also fell but with much less serious bruises.
