Bisceglie-Corato road hit-and-run: Driver located after fatal accident
Carabinieri have located a 50-year-old man suspected of involvement in a fatal hit-and-run on the SP34 provincial road connecting Bisceglie and Corato. The incident occurred on a Sunday evening when a 77-year-old retired professor was struck and killed while attempting to cross the road.
Following the collision, the driver reportedly abandoned his Audi in a nearby avenue in an attempt to flee the scene on foot. The suspect is currently facing charges of vehicular homicide and failure to render aid. Authorities have conducted tests to determine if alcohol or narcotics were involved in the crash.
Local reports highlight that the specific stretch of the SP34 where the accident occurred lacks adequate street lighting and horizontal road markings, factors cited as contributing to the tragedy. The road has been noted for being high-traffic and prone to previous accidents.
