CESIOMAGGIORE. Tomorrow at 2.30 pm Cesiomaggiore will say goodbye to little Petra Lucca. The funeral of the 10-year-old girl hit Saturday morning on the Sp 36 in Toschian was set yesterday morning, as soon as the green light from the judicial authorities arrived. They will be held in the church of Soranzen, where the rosary will be celebrated at 2 pm, and then continue by car to the cemetery. Dad Carlo and mum Chiara “Doriana”, announcing the funeral, wanted to thank the doctors of the pediatric intensive care of Padua, where the child died on Monday evening, but also “all the people who helped her and did their utmost to his salvation “.
From what emerges, medical-legal examinations on the little girl’s body were not needed. Travolta, by a tragic twist of fate, from the car of her family friend who was like a grandmother to her.
The very serious condition of the child, who was reanimated on the spot and then brought directly from the Suem helicopter to the University Clinic of Padua, had in fact been clear from the beginning to the doctors. Who in Padua, in intensive care, have tried what they can. Until, on Monday evening, Petra’s heart stopped beating.
In the investigation file opened in Belluno by the Public Prosecutor’s Office, which after the death of the little girl saw the hypothesis of a crime change from very serious injuries to road homicide, the clinical documentation already produced by the health workers who first rescued the child in Strada Toschian and then tried to save her in intensive care in Padua.
The witness
But in the dossier against the 67-year-old woman from Soranzen who drove the Fiat Idea that overwhelmed Petra, the results of the findings and subsequent investigations by the carabinieri of the Feltre company will also end. Starting from the story of a witness who confirms the hypothesis of an accident resulting from a tragic chance.
The witness is the only one, in addition to the woman driving the minivan traveling in the direction from Toschian to Soranzen, to have witnessed the accident directly.
He was driving a car that traveled in the opposite direction to that of the Fiat Idea.
The man was walking along via Pedemontana, or the provincial road, towards the center of Cesiomaggiore. And as he traveled along the long Soranzen straight, he saw the scene directly in front of him. Reporting to the carabinieri that he saw the little girl with her little dog who suddenly tried to cross the road, emerging from a hedge. Without giving the woman driving the Idea even time to brake.
At that point of the provincial road, shortly after the curve that leads to the straight, there is a clearing from which some goats can be observed. Petra loved those funny animals and she enjoyed looking at them and greeting them.
He was probably going there, in that clearing about a hundred meters from home, also on Saturday morning around 9, together with his dog. Without knowing that her “grandmother”, the woman friend of the family with whom she had played and joked since she was very small and who had accompanied her to the Grest just the day before, was arriving in her car.
Unavoidable impact
It is an important testimony, that of the motorist who was traveling in the opposite direction, who argues in favor of the hypothesis of a fortuitous accident that will at least alleviate a little the deep pain of the woman. So upset by the tragedy that she was hit immediately after the accident by an illness that made her go to hospital.
The carabinieri are still completing the last calculations based on the surveys, but from what emerged the woman’s car was not going more than 60/70 kilometers per hour, in that stretch where the speed limit is 90.
The driver, who, according to the reconstruction based on the testimony, suddenly found her in front of her, also tried to avoid the small one, turning left. But it wasn’t enough to ward off the impact.
An appraisal will still be carried out on the car, which was seized after the accident, even if the first surveys carried out by the carabinieri of Feltre indicated the presence of reduced damage, a sign of a not very high impact speed. The involvement of other means in the tragic accident on Saturday morning that cost Petra’s life was excluded from the investigations. –
