Woman behind the wheel dies in head-on collision, son: 'My mother was waited for and chased'

"She was chased by her ex who took the law into his own hands. She was waited for and also followed, as demonstrated by the videos I have in my pocket." This is the statement released to the Tg3 cameras by one of the sons of Pierina Buffon, 69 years old, who died yesterday morning in a head-on collision between the car she was driving and the car of her ex-partner, Fulvio Ielmini, 73 years old. The relationship between the two, which lasted several years, ended last June.

At the moment the case is for vehicular homicide but the investigations are not finished. The woman's family members filed a complaint, asking the local police coordinated by Busto Arsizio prosecutor Massimo De Filippo to verify the hypothesis that the impact was not accidental. As per practice, the man will be registered in the register of suspects for road homicide. The first reconstruction indicated an illness of the 69-year-old as the cause of the collision. Other elements should come from the results of the autopsy which will be carried out in the next few hours and could be carried out between next Tuesday and Wednesday.
