Spice Fifty-six-year-old Massimo Frezza has returned to La Spezia after receiving treatment at the Maggiore Hospital in Parma. He was involved in a serious road accident while riding his motorbike, a Suzuki V Strom, along the Cisa state road.
The darkness
Massimo Frezza remembers only a few moments of the fall on the asphalt and then the darkness, until he woke up, with a Public Assistance soldier next to him, Iuri is his name, who had provided the rescue maneuvers, waiting for the ambulance to arrive. “I owe a lot to this volunteer, perhaps my life,” Frezza comments. “Thanks to his timely intervention and his skills as a rescuer, I was looked after in the difficult moments after the accident, when I was lying in pain on the asphalt.”
The excursion
The expert centaur was making a usual excursion out of town on the itinerary appreciated by hundreds and hundreds of motorcyclists who flock to the Cisa state road every week. Frezza was tackling the Piantonia Stairs, a characteristic stretch of the itinerary that connects the plain to the Tyrrhenian coast, when he lost control of his motorbike. From that moment on everything was entrusted to the rescue team. Once the Fornovese Green Cross soldiers reached the site of the accident, they requested the intervention of the air medical service due to the severity of the accident.
The cure
«I felt like I was in a movie», continues Frezza, «assisted with professionalism by the medical staff both during the transfer to the hospital and in the emergency room. The kindness, the care received and the prompt intervention of the soldier who was traveling along the Cisa state road remind me of those American films where everything works perfectly in the rescue phases.” After the experience of the accident, Massimo Frezza is now spending a period of convalescence in his home in La Spezia, undergoing rehabilitation sessions. «My story – underlines Frezza – highlights all the professionalism and passion that the doctors and rescuers of Parma employ in carrying out their tasks. The model of these – rescue angels – should be encouraged and exported to other Italian realities as well.”
