A 59-year-old Moroccan worker died in a road crash at Montecorvino Pugliano, in the province of Salerno, after the scooter he was riding was struck by a car.
The victim was identified by Il Mattino as Bachine Auzal, a resident of Pontecagnano Faiano. According to the reports, he was travelling on a scooter when he was hit by a Fiat Panda.
The crash happened in the San Vito area, along Via Vincenzo Bellini and the provincial road near the motorway exit, in the locality also indicated as near Bartolini. The exact dynamics remain under investigation, but early reconstructions reported by local sources describe a possible overtaking manoeuvre with invasion of the opposite lane.
Emergency responders intervened, but the 59-year-old could not be saved. Sources report that he died at the scene or shortly after the impact, despite rescue efforts.
Other motorists were also involved in the incident and received assistance, according to the sources. Their precise role in the sequence of events has not been definitively established.
The driver of the car, a 23-year-old from Olevano sul Tusciano, is under investigation for vehicular homicide, or omicidio stradale.
Carabinieri and other police authorities carried out checks and surveys to reconstruct what happened. Il Mattino reported the seizure of the body and an ordered autopsy, but no medico-legal outcome is available in the research.
What remains to be clarified is the definitive reconstruction of the manoeuvre, including whether an overtaking move caused the invasion of the opposite lane, and whether other vehicles were directly involved or only caught up in the aftermath. No final judicial outcome has been reported.
