The group of cyclists belongs to the Gastone Nencini sports club from Prato, named after the Tuscan champion who won the Giro d'Italia in 1957 and the Tour de France in 1960. Saul Nencini, the champion's son, was also among the participants.
They were cycling in a group, for their usual Sunday bike ride, when a Seat Ibiza hit them. Seven ended up in hospital, two of them are in a reserved prognosis. The accident occurred this morning around 9 am, in Signa, a municipality in the province of Florence, along via Arte della Paglia. The driver of the car that hit the cyclists was a 65-year-old woman who tested negative for alcohol. The dynamics of the accident are being examined by the police.
The police's hypothesis is that the driver got distracted and ended up losing control of the car, which was traveling in the direction of Campi Bisenzio, invading the opposite lane where the cyclists heading to Signa were pedaling. The group left Prato this morning around 8.30.
The cyclists are part of the Gastone Nencini team from Prato, named after the Tuscan champion who won the Giro d'Italia in 1957 and triumphed at the Tour de France in 1960. Among them is also Saul Nencini, 55 years old, Gastone's son, among the three injured people taken to the Prato hospital, all in code yellow according to what has been learned. The other four, aged between 60-70 years, were admitted to the Florentine hospital in Careggi, among them the two injured with a reserved prognosis: according to what we have learned they all suffered multiple traumas.
The impact was violent: among the cyclists, someone apparently flew into the windscreen of the Seat Ibiza, breaking it, others were thrown to the ground, and a bicycle ended up in the ditch alongside the road. More ambulances were called to the scene and the Pegaso air ambulance also landed to transport one of the most seriously injured to hospital. The Carabinieri from the Sesto Fiorentino station intervened to carry out the investigations. The first investigations were carried out, including an alcohol test for the driver, which came back negative. Regarding the causes of the accident, the hypothesis made is precisely that of a moment of distraction on the part of the woman following which the Seat Ibiza ended up in the oncoming lane. It remains to be understood what diverted the motorist's attention.
