A 23-year-old student from Abruzzo, originally from Vasto, was run over and killed by a car in Paris, where he was on the Erasmus project. The news is given by the mayor of Vasto, Francesco Menna: “I express the deepest pain and closeness to the family of Luigi Villamagna, the young Vasto student invested in Paris. The deepest condolences “, he writes on social media. Luigi lived in Pollutri with his parents and his sister Giulia
Luigi Villamagna, already graduated in philosophy in L’Aquila, he attended the master’s degree in historical and oriental sciences at the University of Bologna with great success. And Unibo on the site thus gives the sad news to the members: “Our student was the victim of an accident during his stay in Paris for an Erasmus exchange. The rector Giovanni Molari expresses the deep condolences of the whole Alma Mater to the family, friends and companions of our student “.
The accident occurred last night when the car that overwhelmed and killed Luigi while crossing the street on the pedestrian crossing went away at full speed without helping him. And it is still a hunt for a pirate of the road by the municipal police of Paris. The incident took place in the Clichy district, the Parisian gateway, where in the surroundings there is the Place Clichy, one of the busiest squares in the capital, at any time.
Perhaps he did not die instantly and perhaps, if he had been rescued in time, Luigi could have been saved: hypotheses that will be clarified by the autopsy shortly. In the meantime, the family members, warned by the Vasto Carabinieri Company in contact with the consulate, destroyed by pain, are headed to Paris. In these hours, the French national police of the Saint Ouen police station has unleashed a manhunt that hopefully will soon bring results.
Luigi had been in Paris for almost a year, lived with a roommate who was not with him at the time of the accident, and would return home before the summer at the end of his Erasmus period awaiting his second degree.
