Her condition is stable, and the ward staff is constantly monitoring her vital signs.
Violent impact
The accident occurred a few days ago while the woman was busy with household chores, a common practice for her, having climbed onto the roof of her house on Via Perda 'e Liana on many other occasions to clean. The former teacher, who previously taught at the village's elementary school, may have lost her balance or tripped over an obstacle. The exact circumstances are uncertain. However, she fell several meters. The impact on the street was quite violent, and those who rescued her immediately called 118 after raising the alarm. At the scene, in the southern district of the village, not far from the Is Arranas sports field, the Sassari operations center dispatched a team from the Tertenia Green Cross, who stabilized the woman and took her (with a red code) to the Nostra Signora della Mercede emergency room.
Reserved prognosis
After initial checks, medical staff determined the severity of the situation, and the patient was admitted to intensive care. Due to the trauma, the woman was admitted to intensive care. Her condition is critical, and the ward's doctors are therefore holding their prognosis.
