A tragic road accident has struck Lonato, where Matteo Tobanelli, a 16-year-old boy, lost his life on July 31. More than a week after the incident, the young man’s parents have made an appeal to the community to gather information that could clarify the circumstances of the accident that occurred along Provincial Road 25, between Lonato and Barcuzzi. Investigations by the Traffic Police have revealed that there was no direct impact with another vehicle; Matteo reportedly lost control of his motorcycle while overtaking, fell, and was subsequently struck by a BMW driven by a fifty-year-old man, who is considered not responsible for the accident.
However, the family remains skeptical about the provided account and is seeking answers through social media. They have posted a message in the Facebook group “La Lonato che Conta,” asking anyone who may have seen anything relevant to come forward. In their post, they express their despair and emphasize that their son was traveling at a moderate speed with his helmet fastened and without any direct contact with other vehicles. The family hopes to gain clarity on the dynamics of the accident so they can find peace during this difficult time.
