LIVORNO. A cyclist on the wrong side of the road hit him while he was traveling on a scooter in via delle Navi, in Borgo Cappuccini. «She came out from behind a truck parked in a fishbone pattern, we could have killed both of us». Car accident, last Friday, for the group leader in the municipal council of the League and president of the “Etruscan football” Carlo Ghiozzi. The Livorno politician – 46 years old, law graduate and seasonal driver for chauffeur-driven transport rentals – was going to the municipality to discuss the wrong election posters (with his name, leader of the Northern League, ending up at the bottom of the list of candidates) when he found himself involved in a road accident, hit by a girl on a bike.
«It came out from behind the truck and hit me – Ghiozzi’s words – while I was moving around on my scooter. The scooter flew further ahead, I incredibly remained standing, but the little finger of my left hand broke, with the wound being stitched in hospital with four stitches.”
The representative of the League, via Facebook, thanked the emergency room staff who assisted him impeccably. In Viale Alfieri, Ghiozzi went there alone without requesting an ambulance. «The pain was atrocious – he says – but it could have been worse, given that the tendons were fortunately not affected by the injury. I thank those who helped me, the girl on the bike also did it, too bad she had no insurance, which is not mandatory for bicycles. I won’t be able to do anything but keep the damages, both to the scooter and the physical ones, which no one will reimburse me for. From this point of view I think something needs to be done at a regulatory level.” Already in the evening, however, he resumed the electoral campaign, attending the presentation of Magdi Cristiano Allam’s book at the Gonnelli pastry shop in Piazza Attias.
