A girl returning home on her scooter was struck by a speeding car on Via Tasso in Naples during the night of 27 September. The driver did not stop after the collision and fled the scene, prompting a search for the suspected hit-and-run driver.
According to Il Mattino, the car was travelling at high speed when it hit the scooter. The rider did not reportedly suffer serious physical injuries, but experienced significant shock.
Images of the incident were circulated in a video published on Francesco Emilio Borrelli's Facebook page.
The incident led to calls for speed-detection equipment and stronger video-surveillance coverage on the road. The car, driver and registration number have not been identified in the available report, which does not specify the rider's age, the exact point on Via Tasso where the collision happened, or medical follow-up. The available report does not provide a confirmed police reconstruction, and it does not establish the vehicle's exact speed.
