She died last night in Malta the Sicilian Oriana Bertolino. 31 years old, from Marsala, the young woman died on the island of Gozo falling off a cliff into the sea on a quad bike driven by another man from Marsala. The victim was known for her sporting commitment (he played volleyball for Marsala Volley, ). When he lost his life, she was taking part in a group excursion to watch the sunset.
The Maltese police reported that the driver of the quad, who managed to escape with only minor injuries, lost control of the vehicle, apparently due to a steering problem. Furthermore, according to what has emerged so far from the investigations, it seems that the guide of the group of hikers feared arriving late and missing the sunset and This therefore induced everyone to speed upThe dust raised and the poor grip, being on dirt, would have prevented the quad driver from stopping in time before the end of the cliff, which overlooks the sea.
Bertolino’s body was recovered after searchesbut the young woman had already died due to the trauma she suffered. The man, however, was treated for minor injuries at the hospital in Gozo. Magistrate Brigitte Sultana is conducting an investigation. Oriana Bertolino was also well known for her work in a veterinary clinic.
