Grandmother hit with her grandson, two hit-and-run drivers reported

The couple of hit-and-run drivers who yesterday ran over a grandmother and her four-year-old grandson in Fornovo Taro in the Parma area have been traced.

They are a man and a woman resident in the area and already known to the police. The investigations conducted by the local Bassa Val Taro police and the carabinieri led to the identification of the two: they were reported, for various reasons, for negligent injury, escape and failure to help, refusal to undergo tests for alcohol and narcotic substances.

From the story of some people present, it appears that the man was behind the wheel, both of whom did not have a valid driving license. The 61-year-old grandmother is hospitalized in intensive care at the Maggiore hospital in Parma, while the child is not in serious condition. The car that hit them had driven away without providing assistance. Thanks to the reports received from citizens and the viewing of the cameras present in the area, the officers managed to identify the vehicle, found in the Riccò area and subjected to seizure.

The municipal administration of Fornovo, on its social profile, thanks the Lower Val Taro Local Police, the Carabinieri and all the citizens who, with their testimonies, contributed to the investigations.
