TREVISO – “I killed him”. So she murmured the 71-year-old was shocked which on Wednesday afternoon, at 6.30 pm, has hit and killed a man which crossed the pedestrian crossing by bikein viale Europa, right on the roundabout in front of the Da Vinci high school, a few meters from the place where, a few months ago, the former mayor Gentilini hit a runner. The investor, who is part of the staff of the Ruggers Tarvisium rugby team he was wearing a beige polo shirt and blue trousers.
He held his hands in his hair, desperate, as he looked at hers Fiat Tipo black being loaded onto the tow truck, the black Pinarello of the man he had just hit leaning to the side and the Contarina operator cleaning the road from the remains of the bad accident. He waited together with the local police and the president of the Ruggers, Manuel Pavanello, who arrived on site as soon as he learned of the accident. A group of curious passers-by had formed around them and was soon dispersed by the police, who in the meantime had blocked the roundabout.
THE DANGER
Another terrible accident that paints the streets of Treviso with blood, still mourning the tragic death of Giulia Mauri, this time involving a man who was heading from San Liberale towards Santa Bona, but without carrying any documents on him. “Here There have been several accidents in the areaespecially in the past, before the works in Viale Europa – says a resident of Santa Bona, Marco Mazzaro – and yet, despite the cycle paths done well and the new roundabouts continue to be investing people. A few years ago a lady, then a few months ago the runner hit by Mayor Gentilini. People here have no respect for people and for the highway code and I have often seen arguments over a near accident.”
THE PITFALLS
Just a few minutes after the accident a car passedcar in the wrong direction, which reached the roundabout in front of the swimming pool and shortly after another which proceeded quickly but without one of the tyres. «I must say that since they fixed up the road it has become much less dangerous – says Anna, an employee of the Elite pizzeria, a few meters from the scene of yesterday’s accident – with the cycle paths and roundabouts it has become a much more suitable road of pedestrians and bicycles”. SC, who has lived in Santa Bona for 26 years, thinks the same: «Before they created the cycle paths it was a very dangerous road. There was barely a pavement and only the roadside for bikes. However, the cycle path is very safe, with the New Jersey barriers. The lighting is also good and I feel like making just one small consideration: more retarders would be neededbut they don’t say that it can’t be done because the buses pass by, which would ruin the suspensions.”
