Investigations into the accident in which he was involved Alex Zanardi they focus on another aspect of the story. The conditions of the road surface fall within the list of considerations that investigators will attach to the open file as an act due to the serious consequences of the impact on the Val d’Orcia state road. A pit on the asphalt, a dip due to wear and tear of traffic or weather, any anomaly of the roadway could have made it impossible to control the vehicle, up to overturning and carambulating in the opposite lane, where the articulated lorry arrived.
No hypothesis is excluded by the Prosecutor of Siena to add another piece to the reconstruction of what happened on that “cursed” afternoon: listen to the driver of the vehicle [ancora sotto shock], the organizers of the non-competitive event [Obiettivo 3], direct testimonials or short videos [è il caso della clip girata dal giornalista che non era molto distante dal luogo del sinistro], seized the vehicles, now the focus is entirely on road maintenance.
Did Zanardi skid also because of the asphalt conditions? Is it possible that the abnormal movement of one of the wheels is due to the uneven road surface? And what was the speed at which the champion was traveling just before the accident? Was the handbike driven by Zanardi fully functional? To the latest news coming from the health staff, also marked by the words of the wife and the beautiful demonstrations of affection of the son, there are also the news on the investigation that runs its course.
The ex Formula 1 driver, now a handbike champion, is currently hospitalized in the intensive care unit of the “Le Scotte” hospital in Siena: the clinical picture is stable but remains worrying due to the violent injuries reported. In the next few hours – perhaps already on Monday – the doctors who keep him under close observation could suspend the administration of drugs and awaken the Bolognese sportsman from the pharmacological coma. The goal, a week after the tragedy, is to evaluate its neurological conditions.
