Car hits 7 people, two girls dead in Lido di Camaiore. The mayor: “He was traveling at crazy speed”

Driving a Mercedes, he hit seven people, causing the instant death of two German girls, and sending all the others to the hospital. This is the tragic outcome of the accident that occurred shortly after 7:00 p.m. in Versilia, in Lido di Camaiore (Lucca). The driver, a 44-year-old Brazilian woman, also ended up in the hospital for toxicology tests, as reported by the Lucca Police Headquarters: the investigations are being conducted by the traffic police.

The scene of the accident was Via Italica. According to what was explained at the moment by the Police Headquarters, the car had hit two red lights: at the first intersection between Via Italica and Via Roma it hit the two German girls, apparently two tourists, born in 2005 and 2006. Then at the second intersection, with Viale Colombo, the other pedestrians: among them a sixty-year-old woman who was then taken with a red code for multiple trauma, by helicopter, to the Cisanello hospital in Pisa. The other people hit were sent to the hospital in Massa and Versilia. The car then stopped after hitting two cars: the driver got out of the car until the traffic police arrived and took her to the hospital for toxicology tests. Numerous ambulances and firefighters intervened on site for rescue, as well as traffic police officers and even the municipal police of Camaiore. The mayor of Camaiore, Marcello Pierucci, also rushed to the scene.

“It’s an episode that has shocked the entire community, something like this has never happened before – the mayor said live on TV on the 50 Canale television channel – a car at high speed on Via Italica hit and killed two people and injured five others, damaged a dozen parked cars and hit everything it found during its journey, even after the second impact. We immediately made ourselves available by placing our municipal police at the disposal of the police of the Viareggio police station in charge of the investigations”. (ANSA).
