A man died and another was injured after being hit by a car along the Cassano-Garda provincial road, near Setteponti, in the Cosentino area. The driver of the car, a Fiat Panda, was proceeding towards Cassano allo Ionio when, for reasons still under investigation, he hit the two non-EU citizens who were walking on the side of the road.
One of the two was thrown over the guardrail and his condition immediately appeared desperate to the 118 paramedics called by the motorist. The man died soon after being placed in the ambulance.
The other immigrant was transported to Castrovillari hospital with chest trauma. The carabinieri of the Cassano allo Ionio Company intervened on site to investigate and reconstruct the dynamics of the accident.
