On 2 August, a van lost control on via Cardinal Salotti in Montefiascone, striking parked cars and a retaining wall; the driver was hospitalized but no fatalities occurred. Later that day, a front-side collision near the A32 exit at San Giorgio di Susa involving a Fiat Panda and a motorcycle killed the rider and left the passenger seriously injured. On 5 August, a 33-year-old Albanian motorcyclist, Maksim Sinani, died after a head-on collision with a Volkswagen Tiguan on the SS64 near Pistoia. Earlier, on 29 July, a 27-year-old motorcyclist was critically injured in Ciampino, while a separate crash in Latina claimed a driver’s life.
