These are the conclusions reached by engineer Mattia Strangi, technical consultant for the truck driver investigated for very serious injuries due to the accident that occurred on June 19. The two speeds are within the legal limits and would also be confirmed in the consultation carried out on behalf of the Siena Prosecutor’s Office. According to Strangi, reports show how Zanardi “has lost control of his handbike around corners.”
“Alex Zanardi with his handbike was traveling at 50 km per hour before impact with the truck that was traveling at 38 km per hour”. To do this, he had the support of engineer Mattia Strangi from the University of Bologna, technical consultant for the truck driver investigated for very serious injuries in the accident that occurred on June 19 between Pienza and San Quirico d’Orcia (Siena). That day the handbike of the former pilot and Paralympic champion (WHO IS) collided with the heavy vehicle during a stage of the “Obiettivo tricolore” relay race.
