A two-month-old baby experiencing serious breathing difficulty in the Ceppaloni area reached the emergency department of San Pio Hospital in Benevento after an escort by a Carabinieri Forestali patrol from Montesarchio.
According to NTR24 and Anteprima24, the patrol encountered the family while conducting routine territorial service. The reports describe a car stopped in Ceppaloni with two women and the infant, who was struggling to breathe.
Roadside encounter in Ceppaloni
Anteprima24 reports that the patrol noticed the stopped car during its service in the Ceppaloni area. The child was described as approximately two months old and in serious respiratory distress.
The sources do not identify the family members or the individual officers involved, and they do not give a medical diagnosis.
Escort to San Pio Hospital
According to Anteprima24, the patrol escorted the vehicle to the San Pio emergency department in Benevento with sirens activated. NTR24 similarly reports that the intervention helped the baby reach the hospital emergency department quickly.
The supported reporting describes the escort as unplanned assistance intended to reduce the time needed to reach medical care.
Praise from Francesco Maria Rubano
The public statement praising the intervention came from Francesco Maria Rubano, identified by NTR24 as Forza Italia's Benevento provincial secretary and a member of the Ecomafie commission.
Rubano described the intervention as prompt and professional and credited it with contributing decisively to the positive outcome, according to both NTR24 and Anteprima24.
What has not been confirmed
The available sources do not provide the baby's identity, treatment, or current condition. No independent official statement from the Carabinieri or San Pio Hospital was located in the research.
Reports describing the intervention as having saved the baby should therefore be understood as the assessment presented by the reporting outlets and by Rubano's statement, rather than an independently documented medical conclusion.
