Accident between Misilmeri and Bolognetta, a woman dies and her son is seriously injured

Fatal accident on the Palermo-Agrigento road: an 87-year-old woman dies. A fatal road accident occurred on the Palermo-Agrigento state road number 121, between the towns of Bolognetta and Misilmeri. Three vehicles involved: two cars, an Opel Corsa and a Peugeot 5008, and a Daily Iveco van.

The worst was an 87-year-old woman, Giuseppina Costanza, a resident of Campofelice di Fitalia, who was traveling in an Opel Corsa with her 44-year-old son. The woman was killed on impact. The son, who was injured, was transported by helicopter to the Civic Hospital of Palermo. Another driver, a 21-year-old from Mezzojuso, was taken by ambulance to the hospital. The driver of the car was not injured.

The Carabinieri intervened at the scene of the accident, which took place at km 239.500, to investigate the case and reconstruct the exact dynamics of the accident. According to the original construction, the Opel Corsa would have lost control, first hitting the van and then the car carrying the 21-year-old.

Due to the accident, state road 121 was temporarily closed to traffic between Bolognetta and Misilmeri. Traffic was diverted to regional road 77. Anas crews were on site to manage the road system and restore traffic as soon as possible.
