Then when I closed I went to buy bread and then I realized what had happened. There on the asphalt I saw the little body on the ground covered by the green sheet with the health workers who tried everything to revive it. I saw Sandra Scarpellini, our mayor, hugging her mother, while to one side still upset by the incident was the bus driver. All I did was get the bus driver to bring a chair and a bottle of water.
«An incredible fatality, a very strong pain. Now we can’t help but rally around this family. Impossible to say more for a tragedy that affects an entire community ”, words of the mayor of Castagneto Carducci, who, as soon as he heard the news, went to the scene of the tragedy.
