Truck overturns and hits car in Sant’Ilario d’Enza

A heavy sand tanker overturned and struck a Chevrolet on via Piacentini in Sant’Ilario d’Enza, resulting in one injury.

According to preliminary investigations by the Bibbiano Carabinieri, the accident occurred when a 52-year-old driver, traveling from Sant’Ilario toward Montecchio Emilia, drove too close to the edge of the road. The truck's right wheels entered a side ditch, causing the vehicle to skid and overturn. During the rollover, the heavy vehicle struck an oncoming Chevrolet driven by a 48-year-old resident of Montecchio Emilia, causing the car to also overturn.

The driver of the Chevrolet was rescued by emergency medical services and transported to the Santa Maria Nuova Hospital in Reggio Emilia in yellow code condition. His medical status is currently under observation. The driver of the tanker was uninjured. The overturned truck completely obstructed the roadway, requiring intervention from the Fire Department and Carabinieri to manage traffic and conduct legal surveys.
