Two Teens Die in Pisa Ikea Parking Lot Motorcycle Crash as Probe Targets Helmet-Cam Footage

Police will analyze helmet-camera footage to determine whether the collision was part of a risky stunt.

Overview

  • Jacopo Gambini, 17, died at the scene and Leonardo Renzoni, 16, died in hospital after a head‑on collision in a parking area near the Ikea store in Pisa.
  • The juvenile prosecutor in Florence is directing the municipal police to seize helmets, phones and the motorcycles and to conduct autopsy and toxicology tests.
  • Investigators report the only fixed camera in the area yielded nothing useful, shifting the focus to helmet‑mounted cameras and material from social networks.
  • Authorities are examining whether an error or a deliberate challenge between the riders led to the crash, stressing that the cause has not yet been established.
  • The hospital acknowledged a misidentification of the victim during initial treatment, and community concerns are heightened by prior dangerous driving episodes in the same area.
