An infinite tragedy. Marco De Luca has died, the 16-year-old boy hospitalized in the Polyclinic Intensive Care Unit since dawn on Sunday after the accident on the motorway near Letojanni. The 16-year-old attended the 4 C at the “Cuppari” Agricultural Institute. The young man’s condition immediately appeared very serious and the situation did not change until this evening when the operations for the declaration of brain death were concluded. The family, with a great gesture of altruism, gave consent for organ donation. The news had already spread in the early afternoon, especially among his classmates at the Cuppari Institute, causing the many who knew Marco, a cheerful boy, to sink into despair.

Inside there were five very young people aged between 16 and 19, all from Messinareturning after the Saturday evening spent in Taormina.
