cars on fire, fear and traffic chaos. Saves a 35 year old woman

ANCONA The smoke coming out of the mouth of the tunnel, the sirens of the emergency vehicles, the noise of the flapping of the air ambulance. The worst was feared yesterday morning on the A14 due to a thrilling crash that occurred inside the Sappanico tunnel, between the Ancona Nord and Sud toll booths, on the road towards Bologna, where a car overturned and caught fire.

The reconstruction

Luckily the cursed highway, strewn with crosses and soaked in blood, this time provided a less serious toll. A 35-year-old woman ended up in hospital after rolling over, apparently following an illness. Her condition is not of particular concern. However, the inconvenience to road traffic was severe, with 3 kilometer queues and the section affected by the accident closed for an hour to allow for rescue operations. The crash occurred around midday at km 223.1 heading north. The 35-year-old apparently felt ill suddenly, so she skidded and ended up against the guardrail: her car, powered by LPG, overturned right inside the tunnel and caught fire. The woman managed to reach safety on her own and gain exit from the tunnel. Once the SOS was triggered, the firefighters, the traffic police and 118 intervened on the spot with the air ambulance and a vehicle from the Yellow Cross of Camerano, which took the 35-year-old to the emergency room in Torrette in medium severity code. Once the flames were put out and safety was restored, the A14 reopened around 1pm, after a nightmarish hour.
