This morning, along a stretch of the SS115 Gela-Scoglitti, before the Dirillo Bridge in the province of Ragusa, a van crashed into a group of cyclists, apparently all coming from Mazzarrone.
The victim is Raffaele Mazza. The other cyclist was seriously injured and was transported to hospital with a red code. This is SB, seventy years old. When the alarm was raised, the 118 health workers, the air ambulance and the police arrived on site and closed the stretch of road to traffic to allow the rescuers to intervene safely.
The accident caused at least one death and another injury with a red code. Emergency vehicles and law enforcement immediately arrived on site to provide assistance and start investigations into the incident.
Another accident on the SS115
Traffic in that area is also compromised by another accident, a head-on collision involving a lorry and two cars along the 115 South Western Sicula state road. A section of the state road was closed, in both directions, in Gela, from km 280.200 to km 282.000. One person was injured in the accident. Traffic is currently being diverted onto alternative routes: SP 194 – for vehicles coming from Gela towards Vittoria; SP 90 – for vehicles coming from Vittoria towards Gela. Anas teams, firefighters and law enforcement are present on site to clarify the dynamics, to manage traffic in complete safety and to allow the restoration of regular traffic in the shortest possible time.
