Tragedy of Castelmagno, the Prosecutor of Cuneo confirms: “The boys hospitalized had not drunk” – La Stampa

“At the moment it has emerged with certainty that the boys hospitalized have not committed any kind of abuse”, of alcohol or other substances. But “the timing of the investigations that must be carried out to establish the cause and dynamics of the accident will not be short”. Words of the Deputy Prosecutor of Cuneo, Gabriella Viglione, who entrusted the investigation of the Castelmagno accident to her colleague Alberto Braghin. The deputy prosecutor, late yesterday morning, signed the clearance at the funeral of four of the five victims and ordered an autopsy on the body of Marco Appendino, the twenty-four year old from Savigliano who was driving the off-road vehicle.

It is clear that no criminal proceedings can arise from these investigations, which will also be useful on the insurance level and could have a usefulness on other compensation aspects. Criminal responsibility is personal and, in the event of the death of someone who could have – even if only as a due act – been investigated, no longer exists. There are several statutory profiles but this is why there are insurance policies that cover the driver’s responsibilities.

Everything that emerges, at the moment, from the attempts to reconstruct the dynamics of the accident seems to indicate that it was a fatality linked more than anything else to the road conditions. A very narrow forest with no protections where two cars cannot pass at the same time. The reconstructions and investigations proceed on the examination of the vehicle and on the basis of the declarations of those who were there that night. Like the first depositions of the two girls who escaped danger. “We went slowly – they explained, heard the day after the accident with the assistance of a psychologist -: the ground was wet”. That afternoon, it had rained. Of course, it seems that the Defender was approved for 6 people instead of 9 (there were many occupants) but this is an aspect that will be addressed only, in the first instance, in a possible insurance report.
