A very violent impact, five workers between 20 and 40 years died on the spot. This is the balance sheet of a road accident that occurred at 5.36 pm this afternoon in the province of Piacenza, along the stretch of the link road between the A1 and A21 motorways, in the municipality of Fiorenzuola d’Arda.
A van carrying five workers, three Italians and two foreigners, collided with a truck that was stationary on the roadway: about an hour earlier, in fact, there had been a trivial accident that slowed traffic. The person driving the van, according to the first reconstructions, tried at the last minute to avoid the impact with the truck, without succeeding.
On the spot 118, the Parma helicopter rescue, traffic police and firefighters. The section of the Piacenza-Brescia motorway has been completely closed to traffic between Caorso and Castelvetro in the direction of Brescia.
