A serious accident on Rome's Grande Raccordo Anulare results in one death and significant traffic delays.
This morning, a grave accident occurred on Rome's Grande Raccordo Anulare, where a man lost his life following a collision between a car and a motorcycle. The incident took place at kilometer 58.900 of the A90, in the stretch between Eur and Via del Mare, specifically in the outer lane. Initial investigations suggest that the scooter may have lost grip for reasons that are still being determined, resulting in the rider falling onto the asphalt and being struck by an oncoming vehicle that could not avoid the collision. Emergency services arrived on the scene; however, despite their efforts, they were unable to save the victim.
Traffic authorities, Anas, have reported severe disruptions due to the incident, with the only available lane for transit being the emergency lane, leading to long queues and delays throughout the southern quadrant of the capital.
