A motorist was injured. Two tunnels closed between Pescara and Francavilla. The video of the disaster
As luck would have it, there were no more serious consequences. Certainly, in addition to the damage and minor injuries suffered, the driver of the BMW SUV who reared up on the lining of a tunnel that had just collapsed must not have had a good time. Due to the bad weather that hit Abruzzo on Wednesday 22 November, an internal part of the San Silvestro tunnel in Francavilla al Mare in the province of Chieti collapsed. Also due to infiltrations, the San Giovanni tunnel was closed.
