The little girl was in the car park of the Little England institute in Brescia, hand in hand with grandmother who had come to pick her up, when she was hit by an SUV driven by a woman: the driver, 75 years old, was waiting for her first-grade grandson outside school. The 118 rescuers found her already there very serious conditions: admitted under code red to the Civil Pediatrics, the little girl died a few hours after the impact.
The grandmother who overwhelmed and killed 18-month-old Sofia outside the nursery in Brescia: “I didn’t really see her”
The dynamics of the tragic accident that occurred in front of the kindergartenis now being examined by investigators. While the grandmother who has hit Sofia finds herself under investigation for manslaughter. “I didn’t see her”, she defended herself in the meantime, in shock at what had happened. But among those who investigate, the hypothesis is gaining ground that the 75-year-old made confusion with the car’s automatic gearbox, making the wrong maneuver and thus overturning grandmother and granddaughter who walked calmly.
