Accident between tunnels on the Palermo Mazara del Vallo motorway. Several cars are involved in a huge pile-up. Traffic towards the capital remained paralyzed for hours.
Six cars were damaged in the huge accident but no people were injured, just a few bruises.
Buses of tourists and holidaymakers were blocked waiting for ambulances and tow trucks to reach the site of the accident and clear the road
Many looked for an escape route by exiting at Carini and taking the road that leads to Palermo from Torretta and Bellolampo but that too experienced major traffic delays. Many others remained in queue for at least two or three hours. When the road was cleared, the Saturday evening return traffic took care of ensuring that the traffic remained brisk and slow for around 13-15 kilometres.
Another accident along the Palermo Agrigento road
A accident occurred this morning on the state road 121 Palermo-Agrigento. A car, Jeep Renegade model, and a motorbike were involved in the impact. Both vehicles suffered extensive damage. Two were injured and taken to the Palermo Civic Hospital for checks. In the afternoon, a second accident occurred, this time on the A29 Palermo-Mazara del Vallo. At least six vehicles were involved, with traffic immediately going haywire.
Impact at midday, at least two injured
The episode on the SS121 occurred around noon near the nursery Mysylmers, near the artisan market junction. The collision occurred in particular on the roadway towards Agrigento. A state police car and a patrol from the Lercara Friddi traffic police command arrived on site. Traffic in the area was slowed down for a few hours. There were at least two injured. They were rescued by the 118 staff. The conditions of the subjects involved are not yet known, who were taken to the Civic hospital in Palermo for checks. We need to understand the dynamics of the incident, which the road accident personnel are investigating.
