Overview
- A 31-year-old mechanic was crushed when a car slipped from jacks and fell on him during a repair in a Cinquefrondi workshop.
- Reports identify the victim as Anthony Ieranò and say colleagues found him before emergency teams tried to resuscitate him without success.
- Carabinieri and the Procura della Repubblica di Palmi opened an inquiry and the on-duty prosecutor ordered seizure of the corpse and the vehicle for forensic study.
- Initial accounts say the supporting jacks failed but investigators are carrying out technical checks to determine whether the cause was equipment fault, maintenance lapse, or improper use.
- Local events in Cinquefrondi and nearby Melicucco were paused after the incident and police forensic work and lab tests will determine next steps and any legal or safety consequences.
