Inter Goalkeeper Josep Martínez Involved in Fatal Collision Near Training Ground

Police are examining how the wheelchair entered the roadway near Inter’s training base.

Overview

  • The 27-year-old struck an 81-year-old electric-wheelchair user on a country road in Fenegrò near Appiano Gentile.
  • Emergency crews, including an air ambulance, responded within minutes, but the man died at the scene.
  • Initial police accounts indicate the wheelchair may have left a bike path or abruptly changed direction, possibly due to a health issue.
  • Martínez stopped to give first aid, is physically uninjured, and is receiving psychological support, according to reports.
  • Inter canceled a planned press conference out of respect as forensic work and police investigations continue without conclusions on fault.
