Unexpected disaster! Mi Ti reported the details of Inter Milan s two-door car accident: the BYD SUV he had just driven twice was impounded

Yesterday the Italian media "La Repubblica" reported that Inter Milan second goalkeeper Josep Martinez had an accident while driving and killed an old man. Inter Milan has currently suspended coach Chivu's pre-match press conference scheduled for yesterday. Later, many media such as Gazzetta dello Sport confirmed the news.

Today, "Gazzetta dello Sport" updated more details of the car accident.

The deceased was an 81-year-old disabled person with limited mobility. He was accustomed to driving an electric vehicle along the bicycle lane next to the road. The accident occurred about 5 kilometers away from the Inter Milan Training Center. He often stops at a nearby gas station, and according to witnesses, yesterday the vehicle driven by the old man swayed strangely for several meters and then suddenly swerved to the left, which was described by Martinez himself and the testimony of other drivers. This fatal move made Martinez unable to avoid it. Although he made an emergency brake, it also left dozens of meters of tire marks on the side of the road.

Martinez and a woman who was driving behind tried to save the old man, but to no avail. After the ambulance arrived, the old man was pronounced dead on the spot. The gendarmerie arrived immediately to conduct an on-site investigation.

Martinez himself was not injured, but he was severely frightened: after Inter Milan received the notice, the team doctor, team leader and safety director immediately rushed to accompany him for the follow-up time.

The provincial highway where the car accident occurred is close to the small town: a single lane, no central median, and only narrow lanes drawn with yellow solid lines on both sides. Dozens of people ride bicycles close to cars in the middle of the road every day. This section of the road is extremely dangerous, and there have been many accidents, including serious ones, within the same kilometer in the past.

The road where the incident occurred

Martinez was driving his BYD SUV, which is Inter Milan's automotive partner. It was just delivered half a month ago, and this was only the second time he drove this car. He was not speeding at the time and tested negative for alcohol and drugs. He was subsequently interviewed by the military police with the assistance of a lawyer provided by the team. Testimony from two women in the car behind corroborated Martinez's story.

The autopsy of the deceased will be conducted in the next few days. The possibility that the old man's sudden illness caused him to lose control while driving cannot be ruled out. Prosecutors have ordered the seizure of the old man's four-wheeler, which had been damaged by the collision, as well as Martinez's SUV and his cell phone to find out whether he was using it at the time of the accident.

Car fragments scattered at the scene

The investigation will still take several months, during which Martinez will be investigated on suspicion of manslaughter, and could theoretically be sentenced to 2-7 years in prison in the most minor cases. However, if the deceased's sudden turn can be proven to be true, he will not be held criminally responsible.
