Overview

• Prosecutors in Treviso have opened an omicidio stradale case, placing the 18-year-old driver under investigation for driving without a licence and multiple traffic violations.
• The driver is identified as Jose Reynaldo Alberto, who allegedly took his mother’s Fiat 500 before the collision on via Trento in Lancenigo di Villorba.
• Emergency crews declared 71-year-old Diego Lapaine, a former vice-principal and math teacher, dead at the scene.
• Early reconstruction cites high speed, a possible impact with a speed bump and loss of control before the car crossed into the opposite lane; preliminary estimates indicate speed may have exceeded 100 km/h.
• Both vehicles are under seizure as investigators review nearby cameras and prepare a formal crash reconstruction; the prosecutor did not order arrest, and alcohol and drug tests were negative.
