Overview
- A dark Opel Corsa left Statale 89 near the Santa Lucia curve, overturned multiple times and caused the immediate deaths of all three people inside, whose bodies were pulled from the wreckage.
- Emergency teams including Servizio 118 ambulances, an air-rescue unit, Carabinieri and firefighters from Manfredonia responded and secured the site while extracting the victims.
- One report names 26-year-old Luigi Narciso as the likely driver and describes the other two victims as a man and a woman in their about-30s whose identities have not been released.
- Carabinieri are carrying out on-site surveys and forensic work to establish the crash dynamics while the bodies remain at the magistrate’s disposal pending autopsy and legal procedures.
- Early indications reported by one outlet suggest a possible driver doze-off but that claim is unconfirmed and investigators say night-time conditions and limited evidence may slow determination of the exact cause.
