by admin

TREVISO. The youngest, Andreea Maria Cretu, was only 8 years old when she died in a car accident in via Nuova Trevigiana on 11 August. She was sitting next to her two-year-old sister and behind her mother Zinaida. Two dark eyes and a life ahead. The eldest is Teresa Betto, 84, with white hair. She died on Tuesday after an Audi A4 hit her, hitting her right in, loading her onto the windshield and then literally flying her through the air. A road that she crossed every day, and that was fatal to her.

Since the beginning of summer, 30 people have died along the bloody streets of the Marca. Only in the month of August, the most dramatic in terms of accidents, the deaths are 14. An accident every three days in the summer months, in August even one every two.

And if looking closely at the numbers, at this moment we are in line with the deaths of last year, also due to the months in which the streets were semi-deserted, what strikes are the close victims of this summer supported by crosses.

There are those who were on vacation, those who were about to leave. Who had just returned from a family trip, who was going to work like every Monday. Motorists, truckers, but also cyclists and motorcyclists. And then pedestrians, hit on the crossings as they were about to cross the pedestrian crossing.

Andreea Maria Cretu and Teresa Betto, they never met. They could be grandmother and granddaughter. They share a tragic fate, that of dying in a car accident. Among them there are twenty-eight other people: faces, stories, dreams, businesses left halfway through.

Young and old, retirees.

Gianluca Marras, 37, worked at Bartolini in Casale sul Sile. He was hit while pedaling along the cycle path that runs along the Feltrina, in Monigo. He had a daughter and supported his sisters, who had precarious jobs. He donated all the organs he could, thanks to the consent of the family. Bruno Zanon, a 78-year-old retiree, was a vigilant grandfather and Auser volunteer, was hit while crossing the central Via Roma in Casale sul Sile. People on the street tried to rescue him using a public automatic defibrillator. A desperate attempt.

Barbara Monaco, 52, was riding her husband’s bike, Nico Porrazzo, clinging to him. Then the impact with a car along the Feltrina, the body flying meters away. He loved traveling, motorcycles, his job in the bank.

Federico Brion, aged 26, has a sweet look that leaves its mark like the poems he posted on Instagram, the last few hours before getting in the car to reach his company, the Alpinestars of Onè. He lost control of his Fiat in a curve and the crash against the oncoming truck was fatal.

Too many driving with mobile phones and without seat belts

Speed ​​violations – we recall – have skyrocketed from 2,524 in 2019 to 5,632 in the current year. The percentage of those who do not respect the speed limits, overall, has risen by 120 percent. The unconsciousness record was found on the A27: a motorist who ran at 240 km per hour with an Audi Q8, stopped by the traffic police, sanctioned and fined. In 2019, 16,700 infringements were detected, today we stand at 27,300, a dizzying increase. Inattention has increased by 30 percent, the use of mobile phones while driving (in various ways), too. Failure to use the driver’s seat belt has also increased. The European Union has set a 50% reduction in deaths by 2030 and zero deaths by 2050.

Law enforcement experts: among the main causes, distraction from driving due to the telephone: “The guard rail would save lives”

“Many roads do not have lateral protection, an assessment to be made could be precisely to protect them more”. Carabinieri, traffic police, firefighters, Suem 118. In these three months, the police, doctors and nurses rushed to the streets where road accidents, often fatal, were rushed. And they had the sad task of having to put a hand on the shoulder of the family, ring a bell or call the relatives, and bring the files with the reliefs to the prosecutors on duty.

The commander of the departing fire brigade, Giampiero Rizzo, does not hide the escalation: “We notice a large number of road accidents,” he explains. “Compared to the other northern provinces, the Marca seems to me to be the one that has a higher incidence of accidents, we do many of them”. The firefighters have extracted from the sheets young people, fathers, mothers.

Advice?

«The direct competence is of the law enforcement agencies, no technical indications apart from the speed that must be limited, but perhaps an assessment to be made is that relating to greater protection of the roadway. This could be an indication and an evaluation to be deepened ». Guard rail? “Many roads don’t have them.”

Within the observatory of the Province of Treviso, there is a sector dedicated to monitoring road accidents, to calibrate the patrols of the police, in order to allocate the services at times when there is more traffic and it is an investment is more likely than a collision or rear-end collision.

The president of the province, Stefano Marcon, has announced that in September he will bring together the general states involving all the “insiders”, the police and the front line subjects in various capacities, to find a solution. The same prefect, Maria Rosaria Laganà, she said she was worried and pleaded for responsibility. While the traffic police of the Brand have repeated on more than one occasion that motorists have become unaccustomed to driving, they are too distracted and do not respect the rules of the road.

«Each of us must compete for the safety of road traffic» repeats the general commander of the Treviso Polstrada, Simone Morello «irresponsible behavior and dangerous driving behaviors put themselves and others in danger. The behavior on the road often reflects the drifts of our society ».

Many investments were due to distraction, others may not have been fatal, if only the drivers had not exceeded the limits. In some cases, alcohol and the alteration of the driver play a fundamental role. And the fact of not having even fastened seat belts. Then there are the tragic fatalities. Of the 15 fatalities detected by the road in 2021, six cases are due to inattention, in three cases the driver was driving in altered conditions and one with a blood alcohol level higher than allowed, without a belt and a license. And he was thrown out of the cockpit.
