SALERNO. He will have done that resuscitation maneuver many times. A routine for those who “live” the ambulances and every day try to snatch human lives from death. For a rescuer from the Avis di Pellezzano, a center in the Salerno area, this was also the case on the evening of the first of the year when, however, he discovered that the person to be saved was his little sister. The 15-year-old was involved in an accident in which she lost her life along with an 18-year-old friend.
Heartbreaking is the scene faced by the brother who, in vain, tried in every way to save his Picky. “No experience in the field will be able to prepare you to cross your hands on the chest of the blood of your blood to start unloading with all the force, and with all the anger, that you have in your body”, wrote the brother-rescuer on social media. I retraced those dramatic moments. “The adrenaline takes over, the seconds become very long and interminable minutes while you count … 1, 2, 3 .. Up to 30. Take a breath, try to keep the pace as they taught you between one compression and another … But now there is nothing to be done ».
The injuries sustained in the impact by the two boys who were riding a Beverly 250 were too serious. “Sorry, I tried … Forgive me, wherever you are”, the regretful farewell addressed to his little sister, lost right in start of the new year for an accident whose dynamics are still being examined by investigators. The two teenagers were walking along via De Iuliis, a road of about one kilometer that connects some of the hamlets of the municipality of Pellezzano. Suddenly the boy who was driving the scooter lost control of the vehicle which went off the road and ended his run against a road sign post.
The impact was extremely violent and left the two boys no way out. At the same point, this morning, several bundles of white flowers were deposited, the symbol of a community stunned by grief and astonished by the tragedy. The bodies of the two victims were placed under sequestration pending the provisions of the judicial authority which could order the autopsy in the next few hours. “No one would ever have wanted and imagined such a tragic start to the year,” wrote the mayor of Pellezzano, Francesco Morra, incredulous and marked by a tragedy that left an entire community breathless.
