Arezzo, 21 June 2024 – An evening celebration could turn into tragedy due to the madness of some stupid person. Moments of terror were experienced last night along the Bolognese stretch of theA1not far from the Cantagallo service area where, from overpassthey were thrown away boulders against the passing vehicles. Madness.
Several vehicles were hit, including a Arezzo buses returning from the Vasco Rossi concert which was held on Wednesday at the Giuseppe Meazza stadium in San Siro. After attending the long-awaited concert of the 72-year-old rocker from Zocca, the group of fans left for Arezzo on board the bus. The songs of the “komandante” as they call him are still in their ears, the rhythm that had made them dance all evening is still in their legs.
It was around 3am yesterday morning when, just before the Cantagallo rest area, there was an impact with a large stone which broke the windscreen of the bus. One huge crash, clearly unexpected, which created panic within the medium. “It looked like a bomb,” some said. It was difficult to understand at first what had happened, even stunned by the loud noise. In the meantime, other buses following the Arezzo one, still returning from the concert, were hit, it seems that a boy on board was injured in the calf. The police intervened on site Police of Bologna who will try to shed light on what happened and trace the person or persons responsible for this crazy “game”. A game that could have cost someone their life. Stone throwing is a “fad”, which was in vogue between the end of the 80s and the 90s.
There were numerous incidents throughout Italy, so much so that from that moment on the motorway bridges were numbered. In just a few months there were 4 deaths and dozens of injuries, with stones thrown towards cars in races that had given rise to a real psychosis of stones from the overpass. A crazy “fad” that cyclically returns to our streets, and becomes scary again. Perhaps the cameras located in the area will be able to help investigators trace those responsible for last night’s attack and thus bring them to justice. Fortunately, no one was seriously injured, or worse.
