The conditions of Miriam Janale, the 23-year-old girl driving the Fiat Punto which ended up against the guardrail on the night between Saturday and Sunday on the Palermo Sciacca near Giacalone, are still serious. The impact killed her 16-month-old son Abd Rahim Gharsallah and her aunt, Selma El Mouakit, 20 years old. The two were traveling in the front seat and were thrown out after the very violent collision.
Another girl was also injured
Toxicological tests carried out in hospital confirmed a blood alcohol level of 1.35 micrograms per litre. The limit is 0.50. For newly licensed drivers it must be zero for the first three years. The data confirms that the young woman driving had been drinking during the evening spent in Palermo. Chiara Irmanà, 20 years old, pregnant, was also traveling in the car. Luckily for her she was sitting in the back seat. She was injured but her condition is not serious. Today the 23-year-old girl who is in a pharmacological coma will be awakened to try to check whether there is brain damage or not.
Mourning in San Giuseppe Jato
“San Giuseppe Jato is a town in mourning following the news of the terrible accident”. Mayor Giuseppe Siviglia is truly shaken by the news that immediately spread throughout the town. “The girls’ family is an integrated family. The grandparents arrived in town 40 years ago. The grandmother of the girls who ended up in hospital has always been a domestic worker. A decent person like his grandfather who works in the markets. They are all well known in the town and respected – adds the mayor – They are well liked by everyone and have bonded with many in the town. We’re trying to understand what happened. Where they were returning from. It’s truly a sad time for our country.” The Palermo Sciacca expressway, technically the state road 640, is also called the road of death. It is a fast state road sadly known for news events.
