A bad experience, which could have had much more serious consequences, was that experienced yesterday afternoon by two volunteers from the Assosulcis civil protection of Sant'Antioco .
They were on their way to Is Urigus ( San Giovanni Suergiu ) to support their colleagues who were already working on the large fire that had engulfed the houses in the small hamlet, when they were involved in a road accident at kilometre 2 of provincial road 75 .
Lots of fear and fortunately nothing serious for the two volunteers. Immediate call to 118 that from the operations center sent to the site the personnel of Sulcis Emergenze and the medicalized ambulance from the Sirai hospital of Carbonia.
Other colleagues from the civil protection also arrived on site, who had to regulate traffic while waiting for the arrival of the carabinieri from the Sant'Antioco station. Law enforcement officers who carried out the surveys, with the road blocked for over an hour, where an Arst vehicle also remained stationary waiting. The volunteers, both from Sant'Antioco, were taken to the Sirai hospital in Carbonia for checks and were discharged during the night . They only suffered a few bruises. The occupants of the other vehicle involved in the accident, a BMW X3, which ended up off the road, were unharmed, and they too were very scared.
