Sicily traffic fatalities
Entities: Termini Imerese · Strada Provinciale 4 (SP4) · Sicily · San Leonardo bridge · SS113
Overview
On 30 July 2026 a head‑on collision between two vans on the provincial road SP4 near Enna killed a woman and a man and injured several occupants. Firefighters from the Piazza Armerina station, Carabinieri and emergency medical crews rescued victims, extracted them from the wreckage and transported the injured to Umberto I Hospital in Enna. The road was temporarily closed while investigators examined the cause.
The following night, 31 July 2026, a violent crash involving two motorcycles on State Road 113 near the San Leonardo bridge, between Termini Imerese and Trabia, killed 14‑year‑old Alessandra Martorana, a passenger on an electric scooter, while the 42‑year‑old rider suffered serious injuries. Ambulances, Carabinieri and police secured the scene; the mayor of Termini Imerese declared a day of municipal mourning, postponed the Night‑White event and scheduled Alessandra’s funeral for 1 August. Traffic on the highway was halted until the next morning for reconstruction and evidence gathering.
Additional reports published on the same dates reiterated these facts, confirming the fatalities, the emergency response and the temporary road closures. The twin incidents have intensified local calls for improved road‑safety measures on Sicily’s busy routes.
