Cyclist collision investigation in Lanzo Torinese

Overview

On August 8, 73-year-old Giuseppe Campagna struck six cyclists near the Coassolo bridge in Lanzo Torinese. Two of the victims were airlifted to hospitals in critical condition. Following the incident, Campagna issued an apology through his lawyer, stating, ‘I ask forgiveness from the families of the injured. I admit my guilt and my responsibility, desperate is to say little.’

By August 12, the investigation by the Prosecutor’s Office of Ivrea expanded to include potential attempted murder. A judge validated Campagna’s house arrest due to concerns regarding his self-control and risk of recidivism. Investigative reports indicated that one injured cyclist alleged Campagna shouted, ‘I will kill you all’ during the collision.

While authorities examine whether the incident was a deliberate act following a dispute, Campagna’s defense maintains he was in a state of distress and claimed the vehicle appeared to ‘move on its own.’ His legal team has requested a psychiatric evaluation to assess his mental state during the event.
