A road, the Fogliense, which in that stretch seems made for running. And where accidents are consequently commonplace. As happened yesterday morning in Oasi della Badia, a few meters from the Busetto family’s Casino del Sole and where an exhibition is also underway and therefore with people arriving and walking along the provincial Fogliense road. A motorist from Montecchio who was going up the provincial road to avoid a ‘runner’ who took the wrong trajectory, invading the opposite lane, and therefore a head-on collision with easily imaginable consequences, threw his car onto the embankment.
A roar, the noise of sheet metal, the glass of the windshield and rear window blowing from all sides, people at the windows. And among those who took to the streets to help the motorist was Anna Busetto Vicari who wrote to us: “Yet another accident has occurred in front of our house. It is a miracle that the driver of the car was saved. A car at breakneck speed from the opposite direction invaded his lane and he threw himself onto the embankment on the right. I see things like this all the time. So I kindly ask you to report the fact because we have been asking for incisive intervention with speed detectors and other things for years that can reduce the risk that everyone takes by going down this road. We have achieved nothing so far. Thank you for your attention.” An appeal to the newspapers to ensure that the administration takes action to try to limit speed on this stretch of road also because the artery is also busy with many heavy vehicles as there is an industrial area not far away. “Now I will also call the mayor to request some measures”, Anna Busetto Vicari reiterated on the phone. While no trace of the ‘runner’ who invaded the opposite lane was lost, the driver from Montecchio who had to swerve and end up on the embankment, then had to arrange for an ambulance even though his condition did not cause concern, despite being in shock. The firefighters were also on site to clear the roadway and then the police. In addition to the great fear for the driver of the car that ended up off the road, the fear was also mocked by him: his car, after having overturned several times, suffered extensive damage.
