Oristano building roof collapse leads to evacuation
A portion of a roof collapsed in a residential building in the San Paolo – Torangius district of Oristano, Italy. The incident occurred on Via Piemonte, affecting approximately 15 square meters of the structure.
An elderly couple residing in the top-floor apartment managed to evacuate the premises safely after hearing suspicious noises prior to the collapse. No injuries were reported. Following the incident, firefighters secured the building and declared it temporarily uninhabitable.
Five families have been evacuated from the three-story building as technical experts conduct stability assessments. Oristano Mayor Massimiliano Sanna visited the site to coordinate assistance, and the municipality is working with social services to provide alternative accommodation for the displaced residents.
