The fatal accident occurred around 2pm on Tuesday 16 April, between the towns of Vallefoglia di Cappone and Capponello. As reconstructed by Rest of the Pugthe teacher was at the wheel of her methane Opel along the road from Pesaro to Urbino, when suddenly, for reasons yet to be ascertained, the car invaded the oncoming lane.

The testimonies
Some people who provided first aid described the scene to the Rest of the Pug. “I was in front of my house and I heard a great roar – is the testimony of Lucio Tonini – I go out and go towards the car. I see a couple of car seats in the back and immediately think of children. But inside there was only one woman in the driver’s seat. She was breathing hard. We immediately raised the alarm and notified 118 and the firefighters. In fact, we realized that the car was catching fire.”
