One person was injured, not in serious condition, in the accident between two cars which occurred on the Bordonaro viaduct of the ring road towards Catania. Following the accident, traffic slowed down significantly and only one lane was used to allow emergency services to free the other lane from the vehicles involved in the accident. As a result, queues of vehicles formed. The situation has since improved and traffic is moving towards normality.
Another accident, without injuries, occurred in the early afternoon, again on the ring road before the Giostra junction. In both cases the traffic police intervened.
