Overview
- Emergency services responded around 6:30 a.m. on Viale Fulvio Testi, where a rented Mercedes G-Class collided with an Opel Corsa at the Via Esperia intersection.
- Pietro Silva Orrego, 20, died at Niguarda Hospital after surgery, while three others — a 23-year-old woman, a 30-year-old woman, and a 32-year-old man — remain hospitalized.
- Police say a 20-year-old present at the scene is the probable Mercedes driver despite initially claiming to be a passerby, with CCTV, a shoe found in the SUV, and a hospital worker’s recognition supporting that account.
- Authorities report the suspected Mercedes driver never obtained a licence, and the Opel driver returned a positive initial narcotics pre-test with confirmatory toxicology pending.
- Local police and the public prosecutor are reconstructing the crash dynamics and assessing criminal and civil responsibility, including issues related to the rented vehicle.
