Double tragedy in the Valle del Bove of Etna , where this afternoon a sixty-year-old hiker and a 17-year-old boy died after falling 100 metres down a cliff.
Both of them, involved in two separate accidents, were taken to the emergency room of the Cannizzaro hospital in Catania. The 60-year-old arrived already deceased , while the minor was admitted to the intensive care unit where he died a few hours later.
The firefighters intervened on site to provide rescue and assistance, also with a helicopter from the base in the Etna capital.
