The balance of the road accident that took place in Monforte d’Alba in the afternoon, the homeland of Barolo in the province of Cuneo, was very heavy. An SUV has been sealed due to causes that are being investigated on some passers-by, in the central Piazza Umberto I, in front of the customers who were sitting in the dehors at that time. An Italian woman died, four other people were injured; 118 transferred them to the hospitals of Cuneo and Verduno. The firefighters and the carabinieri are also on site, listening to the driver of the car, a 42-year-old from Savigliano who was then stopped.

Belgian and German tourists
Pedestrians hit are Belgians, Germans and Italians. Tourists who were passing through the small village in the Langhe. The two most seriously injured were transported by helicopter to the Cuneo hospital, the other two by ambulance to the Verduno hospital. The car that overwhelmed them, a black Mercedes SUV driving in the direction of Dogliani, stopped its race against a parked car. The driver – who risked lynching, reports The print – will be tested to see if he has taken alcohol or drugs.

The testimony: We heard a crazy roar
They were all standing in the terrace – he tells a Corriere.it the owner of the Caff Rocca, in Piazza Umberto – next to mine when we heard a crazy roar. Then that terrible scene. I don’t know why the SUV entered the square at that speed. They told me that the driver tried to avoid passers-by, but hit some people with his tail, making it worse … The bikes you see in the photos? They are those of some cyclists stopped at the bar. From what I understand they are fine. Of the four injured, two were transported by helicopter to Cuneo, the other two, men aged 60 and 76, to the Verduno hospital, all in yellow code.
