A head-on collision between a car and a scooter disrupted traffic in Torre del Greco on 12 November 2026, along the connecting road between the motorway tollbooth and Via Scappi.
According to police, a preliminary reconstruction indicated that the crash followed an attempted dangerous overtaking manoeuvre near a particularly hazardous blind curve. The vehicles involved were a car and a Honda SH 350 scooter. The impact was frontal and caused severe damage to the front sections of both vehicles.
The scooter rider was stabilized at the scene and then transported in red-code condition to Ospedale del Mare in Naples. The car driver was also injured and was taken by ambulance to Maresca Hospital for treatment and medical checks.
Police remained on site to carry out technical inspections and oversee removal of the damaged vehicles, while traffic in the area was heavily slowed. The preliminary reconstruction does not establish final responsibility, and no further medical update on the scooter rider was reported.
