The man who was the victim of the accident which occurred shortly after 1pm on provincial road 128, in the Siligo area, is 60 years old and originally from Sorso. His name was Stefano Antonio Sanna.
It happened near the place where the attack on the Vigilpol armored car took place a few days ago.
The sixty-year-old was traveling along the road towards Sassari when, for reasons yet to be ascertained, he lost control of the car, a Cupra, and then went off the road crashing into a tree. Sanna died instantly: he was crushed between the sheets of metal.
It took the firefighters of the Sassari command over an hour before freeing the body from the cockpit. The car crumpled.
The attempts to resuscitate him by the 118 operators were useless, there was nothing that could be done for the sixty-year-old. The Torralba carabinieri coordinated by the command of the Bonorva company were present.
