The man was climbing when suddenly he found himself in front of a medium voltage wire and was unable to avoid it
SELVA DI CADORE. Motorcyclist “trips” on an electric cable and falls. The man is hospitalized at the San Martino di Belluno hospital and his condition is not considered serious by the doctors of the emergency room, but it could have been much worse. The danger presented itself in front of the helmet suddenly and he could not avoid it, ending up on the ground.
According to an initial reconstruction, the centaur was traveling towards the Giau pass, on the side of Selva di Cadore, while stringing works were in progress on a medium voltage line by a contractor that works for E-Distribuzione. There was the accidental fall of a cable which involved the motorcyclist, causing him to fall ruinously. The alarm went off at 11.27, when the 118 was alerted by telephone. The ambulance of the Val Fiorentina White Cross and the volunteer firefighters of Selva were on site, before the staff of the detachment of Agordo. At a later time, the helicopter from Pieve di Cadore also arrived to transport the patient to Belluno. The motorcyclist was bruised and in pain, but conscious and aware that he had taken a very heavy risk. The surveys were carried out by the carabinieri, who had to close the crossing to traffic for about twenty minutes, so that the debris of the motorcycle was eliminated and people began to understand what could have happened.
E-Distribuzione is collaborating with investigators to ascertain the causes and dynamics of both the driver’s fall and the consequent road accident. At the same time, the company inquired about the conditions of the motorcyclist. It is by no means excluded that an investigation should be opened, based on the possible complaint of the injured person. Certainly, around noon, traffic resumed in both directions. The traffic was not intense but there was some discomfort. Moreover, in the area, there are several personnel at work and not only for the maintenance of the power lines. GIGI SOSSO
