Quarrel in the street ended with a pedestrian hit and the car fleeing in the center of Cosenza. The episode occurred in Viale Trieste, at the intersection with Corso Mazzini, at the pedestrian crossing.
According to what has been reconstructed so far, a passing motorist had an argument with an elderly passer-by who was about to cross, and the verbal confrontation then led to the collision. The car hit the elderly man and the driver then disappeared into traffic, without stopping to help the victim.
Local police officers arrived on site to investigate. The injured man was assisted by medics and taken by ambulance to Annunziata. The investigations will have to establish the exact dynamics of the incident and whether the driver committed negligence.
