Philip Imundi An afternoon on a rain-soaked road, and suddenly the unexpected is just around the corner—that risky maneuver to gain a few tenths of a second or avoid being behind a slower vehicle that proved ineffective and actually caused more harm than good. Weather like today's in northern Italy is the perfect representation of what it means to drive in adverse conditions.
Head-on collision, one of the drivers was taken to the emergency room
In the head-on collision between the two cars, which was the first reported accident, only the driver was behind the wheel in both cases.
According to those present at the scene, one of the drivers was taken to the emergency room with a green code despite having suffered minor injuries that were treated in the emergency room.
Fortunately, the other two drivers suffered no serious injuries, just a fright resulting from a head-on collision. The rain, which slowed the vehicles, certainly helped.
A third car ends up off the road to avoid a head-on collision
A car arrived at the scene of the accident, in the locality of Gus, a hamlet of Borgo Montebelluna, in Veneto , and found itself in front of the other two involved in the head -on collision. Only the driver's prompt decision to go off-road prevented a mini-car pile-up.
This car too, as reported by Il Gazzettino , was damaged by contact with the embankment , but fortunately the driver did not suffer any injuries and was unharmed.
The Carabinieri intervened on site to carry out initial investigations and to establish the dynamics and causes of the accident, which naturally took those directly involved by surprise.
Unfortunately, adverse weather conditions lead to these situations. Combine this with less than perfect asphalt and perhaps less than optimal car conditions, and you have a perfect recipe for an accident.
