In recent days, the agents of the Latina Traffic Police Section proceeded with the execution of a precautionary custody order “under house arrest” against a man already known to the police, who in the summer of 2023 after having started driving of a vehicle, in a state of psychophysical alteration after taking narcotic substances, with a revoked driving license and with the vehicle uninsured, had caused a serious road accident in the center of Latina, seriously injuring a person.
The infrequent provision in the case of this type of crime was dictated by the extreme dangerousness of the behavior of the arrested person, 48 years old, already a repeat offender for the same conduct. This – underlines the Latina Police Headquarters in a note – constitutes a strong signal towards those who drive in such conditions which are the cause of many road accidents, often with serious outcomes.
The events, which occurred on September 1, 2023, involved the 48-year-old driving his Fiat 600, which was not found to be his property and was also without insurance. The man driving the car violently hit a scooter at the intersection between Via Isonzo and Via Priverno. The minor boy (17 years old) who was driving the scooter was injured and was immediately rescued by 118 and transferred to hospital with fractures and in code red.
The dynamics saw the car come from the center and travel along Via Isonzo; in the opposite direction, still on Via Isonzo, the 17-year-old was traveling on his scooter. They both turned to take Via Priverno and there the very violent impact occurred which caused the minor to be thrown onto the asphalt.
The arrested motorist is also being treated at the ASL service for drug addicts.
