On September 22, 2026, a seven-year-old boy died following a traffic accident in Torino while cycling to school with his father. The incident occurred on corso Regina Margherita when the child, riding in a shared cycling lane, was struck by a Chevrolet Matiz. Despite wearing a helmet and receiving emergency medical treatment, the child succumbed to severe cranial and abdominal injuries later that afternoon.

Local police initiated an investigation to determine if the child veered into the vehicle or if the car entered the cycling lane. As the investigation progressed, authorities also looked into whether the driver adhered to the 30 km/h speed limit.

In the aftermath, sustainable mobility associations called for a review of urban infrastructure and the safety of vulnerable road users. The victim's family issued a public appeal to prevent the tragedy from being used for political or social conflict, stating, “Do not transform Nicolò's death into a war,” and requesting that the incident lead to concrete road safety improvements rather than partisan debate.
