Road accident in Lonato: motorcycle hit and 55-year-old victim

A tragic traffic accident occurred yesterday afternoon in Lonato, where a motorcycle was struck by a car in reverse. The impact, which took place shortly after 5 PM on Via Fenil Vecchio, involved Paolo Bignardi, a 55-year-old man from Solferino who was returning home after a ride around the lake. The vehicle, driven by a 29-year-old man from Naples, failed to notice the motorcycle and hit it on the side. Despite the rider’s attempts to brake and the prompt intervention of emergency services, there was nothing that could be done for Bignardi. The scene of the accident was quickly cordoned off by local authorities, with the traffic police conducting the necessary investigations to clarify the dynamics of the incident. Both vehicles involved were seized, and the driver of the car underwent a breathalyzer test. The judiciary has opened an investigation for vehicular manslaughter, while the road remained closed until the evening to allow for safety measures to be implemented. Family and friends of the victim rushed to the scene, with Bignardi’s partner requiring medical assistance after receiving the tragic news. Italian Version
