Two Pisa Teen Motorcyclists Killed in Ikea Parking Lot Crash as Probe Centers on Helmet-Cam Evidence

Prosecutors scrutinize phones, social accounts, helmet cameras to assess whether a stunt drove the collision.

Overview

  • Jacopo Gambini, 17, and Leonardo Renzoni, 16, died after a frontal crash on Wednesday evening in a parking area near the Ikea store in Pisa.
  • Florence’s juvenile prosecutor ordered the seizure of helmets, phones, and the motorcycles, along with autopsies and toxicology tests to reconstruct events.
  • Investigators are prioritizing footage from helmet-mounted cameras and data from social media because fixed surveillance offered no useful images.
  • Authorities are examining whether a risky challenge or acrobatic maneuver recorded for social platforms preceded the impact, with witness interviews ongoing.
  • The hospital acknowledged a patient identification error during emergency care, and Renzoni’s family authorized organ donation for pediatric recipients.
