MANTOVA – In addition to not stopping when the police stopped, he also caused a road accident without providing assistance. A 27-year-old Albanian citizen from Desenzano del Garda is on trial for resisting a public official and causing injuries. The facts alleged against him date back specifically to the evening of 12 October 2016 when, in Ponti sul Mincio, the young man driving his mother’s car had first eluded a checkpoint and then, in a short time, ended up colliding with a another car, at that moment engaged in turning into a side street with respect to the road on which it was traveling. The three occupants of the hit Toyota Yaris suffered only a few minor bruises while the vehicle continued its journey. A version partially denied yesterday in court by the accused himself: «I didn’t stop – said the boy – because I saw the police only after passing through, so I panicked and didn’t immediately notice that the car of the offended people was turning.” Investigation adjourned until June 26th.
