Deadly crash on the Terraglio, Levakovic was traveling at 125 per hour

The kinematic expertise: no responsibility of Miriam and Mara. The yellow of the belts: “Even if they hadn’t worn them, they would still have died”

PREGANZIOL. Ronnie Levacovic was going at least 125 km / h, compared to a limit of 70 which was respected by the two victims. The license plate of his BMW literally marked the rear bumper of the Citroen C1 which was hit with violence and then thrown against the concrete shoulder of the access bridge to a property 70 meters away.

The relatives of Mara Visentin, the 63-year-old from Preganziol who died with her friend Miriam Cappelleto, aged 51, in the terrible accident that occurred on the night of 24 March last on the Terraglio, in the same municipality of Preganziol, were quite astonished by the leaked rumors about the appraisal kinematics on the incident ordered by the Public Prosecutor of the Treviso Public Prosecutor’s Office. Of the elaborate produced by eng. Pierluigi Zamuner, the technical consultant appointed by the Deputy Prosecutor, it would appear that Mara, driving the small car, and her friend, sitting on the front passenger seat, would not have worn the seat belts: “In a while it will be my mother’s fault and we will have to apologize, ”the son of Signora Visentin jokes bitterly.

However, Zamuner’s conclusions also say something else. “The first collision affected Citroen and BMW: it is a rear-end collision of the vehicle driven by Levacovic against that of Mrs. Visentin. The impact is placed inside the right lane (the one regularly traveled by the C1, ed) and has affected the rear of the Citroen and the front of the BMW: the imprint of the latter’s plate on the bumper of the buffered car indicates clearly the reciprocal position taken on impact. Following the collision, then, the Citroen swerved to the right and was pushed forward going to bump with the front part (also) the parapet of the bridge at number 74, where it was at rest »pressed Eng. Zamuner.

Eng. Zamuner then calculated the speeds of the two vehicles, estimating that the BMW’s impact “was at least 125 km / h”while the one held by Mara Visentin “was close to the current limit of 70 km / h”.

And he concludes by clarifying that the decisive and unique technical cause of the accident was identified in the rear-end collision by the vehicle driven by Levavovic, which proceeded at a speed of no less than 125 km / h, to the detriment of the Citroen that preceded him, with violation of art. . 142 and 149 of the highway code, i.e. exceeding the speed limits of more than 40 km per hour and failure to comply with an adequate safety distance.

In partial consolation of the victims’ families, the technical consultant also adds that, “On the basis of objective and testimonial elements, however, no censurable conduct against the two victims emerged in causal link with the occurrence of the accident “.

And in any case, adds Zamuner, “in relation to the two very violent collisions suffered (first rear-end collision and later frontal impact with the bridge), with destruction of the vehicle and strong reduction of the living space in the passenger compartment, with high probability the use of belts would not have changed the stresses to which the two bodies were subjectedespecially in terms of acceleration and deceleration ”: translated, they would have died anyway.
