A 42-year-old mother of 3 children, of Albanian origin, lost her life at around 08:00 in the morning in an accident in Passerella, a village in San Donà di Piave (Venice) while taking her daughter to school.
Fortunately, the child escaped unharmed, while the mother was hit by a garbage truck and trapped under the vehicle. Firefighters from the San Donà station arrived at the scene, accompanied by a crane unit and emergency medical personnel (118).
Despite resuscitation efforts, the doctor pronounced the woman dead at the scene. Police immediately went to investigate the accident and manage traffic.
According to initial reports in local media , the garbage truck was making a right turn at very low speed, while the mother was on the white lines – apparently in the blind spot of the vehicle's mirrors.
"News that has shocked us and filled us with deep sadness" - declared Simone Cereser, Security Advisor in San Donà. "I express my deepest condolences to her family, loved ones and all those who knew her, with a special thought for her children, who are facing such a tragic loss. I send my hug and support to the entire Passerella community in this moment of great sorrow." ©LAPSI.al
