The terrible toll is three dead and three seriously injured accident which occurred a few hours ago along the A12 motorway, at the Rosignano toll booth.
According to what was reported by the authorities, the crash which involved three different cars occurred shortly after 1pm today, Sunday 2 June. Investigators are still working to reconstruct the exact dynamics of the tragedy: it seems that the accident was triggered by a car that crashed at full speed into two other cars stopped at the toll booth in Rosignano Marittimo. The four-wheeled vehicles struck would then have overturned, and one of the two would have literally run over the toll booth.
The alarm was raised immediately after the terrible crash: the witnesses contacted 112 to ask for rapid intervention on the spot, triggering rescue. Soon the firefighters arrived at the Rosignano Marittimo toll booth, two ambulances from Cecina and Rosignano with the doctor on board, an ambulance from the Misericordia di Montenero with a nurse, two other emergency vehicles sent from the neighboring municipalities and the Pegasus helicopter.
The firefighters immediately went into action to extract the victims of the terrible crash from the wreckage: at the moment there is talk of three deaths and five injured people, three of whom are in serious condition, all transferred under code red to the Livorno hospital. A 6 year old child was also involved. Apparently two of the victims were inside the car that arrived at high speed at the toll booth and was then torn up after the crash that was triggered.
Obviously law enforcement has
the stretch between Rosignano Marittimo and the Rosignano barrier was closed in both directions to allow rescuers to intervene: this led to inevitable repercussions on Tirrenica traffic.
