Huge potholes and sinkholes along the provincial road connecting Abbasanta and Santu Lussurgiu. A highly dangerous situation, and now the mayor of Boroneddu, Angelo Mele, is pointing the finger at those who fail to ensure safety. On Saturday morning, while driving along the road from the rural village of Sant'Agostino toward Abbasanta, he drove into a sinkhole near Tanca Regia, splitting the rim, cracking the fender, and slashing the tire of his Mercedes.
And it's not out of the question that there may be further damage. "Are they waiting for someone to die?" Mele asks. He immediately adds: "That road is in appalling condition, it's extremely dangerous. There are potholes over twenty centimeters deep. Anyone who uses it, especially at night, or anyone unfamiliar with it, runs serious risks to their safety."
Mele, who requested the Carabinieri intervene on site to document the incident, continued: "Provincial Commissioner Ghisu has done so many things in such a short time, but I'm instead blaming the current provincial administration: this is a safety issue that must be addressed immediately. I also see the Abbasanta municipal administration as being distracted: why doesn't it push for safety measures? If it had been my municipality, I would have brought people to the streets to protest. People pay road taxes, and we can't have a road in this condition."
