Overview
- Pietro Silva Orrego, 19, died at Niguarda after emergency surgery, and a 30‑year‑old passenger remains in critical condition.
- Investigators say a 20‑year‑old initially posed as a passerby but was identified as the Mercedes driver with no licence through CCTV, a shoe found in the SUV and a rescuer’s recognition.
- The 32‑year‑old Opel driver tested positive on a preliminary drug screen, with confirmatory toxicology still pending to determine recent use.
- Police seized the occupants’ phones and are reviewing the high‑value SUV’s rental paperwork; the person who signed the contract holds a valid licence, according to ANSA.
- Prosecutors await the Polizia Locale report and are analyzing traffic‑signal cameras and right‑of‑way issues as they move to enter both drivers in the register of suspects.
