Series of serious road accidents across Italy injure motorcyclists and cyclists

A violent collision between a car and a motorcycle on the Sorrento‑Peninsula's State Road 145 left the motorcyclist in serious condition and temporarily halted traffic on the main artery.

In Castel del Monte, police arrested a 50‑year‑old driver after he deliberately struck a 24‑year‑old motorcyclist, an act investigated as attempted homicide following an altercation.

Former Italian alpine skier Peter Runggaldier was seriously injured when his motorcycle hit a bicycle on the Passo Pordoi road; a woman riding the bicycle also suffered severe injuries, and both were air‑lifted to hospitals.

In Viterbo, a cyclist was gravely hurt after being hit by a fleeing vehicle. Police are searching for the driver, who left the scene without rendering aid.
