Driver sentenced in fatal cycling accident in Tuscany

A 57-year-old driver has received a suspended one-year prison sentence following a fatal collision with a cyclist in the province of Grosseto. The incident occurred on August 2, 2025, on the provincial road 24 della Fronzina near Arcille.

Leonardo Luchi, a 27-year-old from Prato, was cycling at approximately 8:00 a.m. when a Fiat Ducato struck him while exiting a curve. Luchi was airlifted to the Policlinico delle Scotte in Siena, where he died four days later from his injuries.

The driver was charged with road homicide. Following a plea bargain, Judge Marco Mezzaluna approved the sentence, which includes a one-year suspension of the driver's license.
