The mother of the 8-year-old girl who died yesterday in a road accident in Giugliano in Campania, after the Smart car they were travelling in overturned, has been charged with road homicide.

Yesterday, the partner of the woman who was driving the car without a license was arrested. The child, according to the reconstruction by the carabinieri, was in her mother's arms, both sitting on the passenger side. There were four people on board the Smart Fortwo: the driver, his partner, the 8-year-old girl and the 16-year-old sister crammed into the small rear compartment of the car.

The vehicle, according to initial investigations by the military, was uninsured. The man, detained for theft, was released from prison yesterday.
