Overview
- Emergency crews responded on the evening of 22 October to a frontal collision on the Porrettana at Lovoleto involving a Volkswagen Corrado and a Renault Clio.
- The child died during transport to Bologna’s Ospedale Maggiore, while his 34-year-old father and the 20-year-old Clio driver were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.
- Early carabinieri findings indicate the Corrado moved into the opposite lane to avoid a motorcycle turning into a petrol station, though some reports offer a differing account under review.
- The motorcyclist was reported unhurt, both cars were seized for examination, and firefighters had to free occupants from the wreckage.
- All three directly involved are residents of Minerbio, and investigators are also checking conflicting reports about the child’s seating position and seatbelt use.
