Overview
- A nearly three-month-old girl died after being ejected from a Fiat 500X in a crash on the A5 between the Settimo and Volpiano interchanges on Saturday evening.
- The Procura di Ivrea has opened a case for vehicular homicide with a hit-and-run aggravating element tied to drivers who left the scene.
- Investigators say at least two vehicles are suspected of fleeing without providing assistance and are working to identify those motorists.
- Authorities have not determined whether the child died solely from the ejection or was later struck, with the prosecutor noting there is currently no evidence of a run-over and the crash appears almost autonomous pending measurements.
- Witnesses have been located, technical examinations continue on why the infant carrier detached, and the mother remains under observation at Turin’s Giovanni Bosco hospital.
