Vimercate: the driver of the SUV who fled after the crash has been arrested for vehicular homicide

A 40-year-old man, of Romanian nationality, was arrested by the Carabinieri in Vimercate (Monza), following an arrest for vehicular homicide aggravated by escape and very serious personal injuries. This is the motorist driving an SUV who, in the night between Friday and Saturday, collided head-on in Roncello with the car of Carola Battaglia, 18, causing her death, and seriously injuring a 16-year-old who was in the car.

The man, who fled on foot after the crash, reportedly later showed up at the barracks a few hours after the accident, admitting his responsibilities. Resident in Bellusco and already known to the police, the 40-year-old was taken to hospital for the usual tests and then taken to prison in Monza.
