Italian police response to road injury incidents

Entities: Irish hiker (59) · Belluno rescue service · Corpo Nazionale Soccorso Alpino e Speleologico · San Martino Hospital · 8‑year‑old girl

Overview

In the days after the July 29 incidents, police continued to prioritize rapid medical access. Road Unit officers cleared a lane on the busy SS51 Alemagna, allowing the infant’s family to reach San Martino Hospital within minutes—a factor officials said helped secure timely assessment of the head injury. The eight‑year‑old from Celle di Bulgheria was transferred by air ambulance to Santobono Hospital in Naples, where her condition was reported as improving. These actions reinforce the pattern of police‑led traffic management and swift patient escort observed across multiple regions, from Belluno to Salerno, ensuring injured road users receive prompt care.
