Cyclists injured in hit‑and‑run crashes in Italy

A 30‑year‑old cyclist was seriously injured on the north‑coast road near Sant’Agata after being struck by a vehicle that fled the scene. Police investigations focus on a Mercedes‑A‑Class suspected of the hit‑and‑run, using witness photographs and traffic‑camera footage to trace the driver’s movements toward Ganzirri.

In a separate incident in Afragola, near Naples, cyclist Salvatore Boemio suffered multiple broken ribs and extensive abrasions when a motorcyclist performing a wheelie collided with him. The motorcyclist did not stop to render aid and escaped, prompting local cyclists and residents to call for witnesses, surveillance footage, and stricter road‑safety measures.
