Police Probe Road Layout After Pozzuoli Scooter Crash Kills 16-Year-Old

Municipal investigators are reconstructing the dynamics through autopsy alongside technical inspections.

Overview

  • Vincenzo Sepe, 16, died on via Fasano near the ex Sofer rotatory while heading to meet classmates for a planned school trip.
  • The Honda SH 125 he rode was hit laterally by a Fiat 500 on a curve, and initial police findings tend to rule out excessive speed.
  • The 17-year-old passenger, identified as G. I. from Bacoli, remains hospitalized in serious condition at Santa Maria delle Grazie in Pozzuoli.
  • Police seized the scooter and the car for technical checks, confirmed both teens wore helmets, and the on-duty prosecutor ordered an autopsy.
  • Reporting links the case to a similar same-day school-bound scooter fatality in Santarcangelo, with ACI‑ISTAT data noting Campania’s troubling road-safety record.
