The Livorno Prosecutor’s Office, which is investigating the accident at the Rosignano toll booth, has ordered an autopsy on the body of the 61-year-old who was at the wheel of the vehicle that hit the other vehicles and who died in the impact with his wife and a 21-year-old. Medical-legal and technical reports on vehicles and the black box will have to clarify what happened.
A sudden illness on the part of the driver of the Black Honda crashed on the Rosignano toll booth of the A12 and on other stationary cars or a mechanical failure such as a brake malfunction. These are the main hypotheses ofinvestigation opened by the Livorno Prosecutor’s Office on the accident at the Rosignano toll booth which occurred on Sunday 2 June and cost the lives of three people. Suspicions that however only the technical and medical expertise lawyers will be able to confirm or deny.
At the toll booth Rosignano no signs of braking
According to initial investigations by the traffic police, there would be no sign of braking on the ground as if the car was now out of control. Even from the terrible video, which captured the crash on the Rosignano toll booth, it is clear that the car was out of control. The vehicle quickly crossed the lanes, entering almost from the side and with an unnatural trajectory in the toll lane where two other cars were queuing.
The footage suggests that the driver of the vehicle who died in the crash, the 61 year old German Robert Friendrich Fendt who was traveling with his wife Maria Cornelia Schubert, who also died, may not have had time to react. One hypothesis is that he remained with his foot flat on the accelerator until the impact which also cost the life of 21-year-old Marco Acciai. An illness, therefore, but falling asleep or mechanical failure cannot be ruled out.

The autopsy on the 61-year-old behind the wheel
This aspect could be clear the autopsy on the 61-year-old’s body already ordered by the prosecutor investigating the accident. At the same time, the judiciary also ordered toxicological tests to verify whether the man was possibly under the influence of alcohol or drugs at the time of the accident. Other clarifications could instead come from the technical reports on the vehicle and the video that the Prosecutor’s Office intends to have available in the next few days. The prosecutor in fact ordered the seizure of all vehicles involved for relevant investigations such as the analysis of the Honda “black box”.
