Matteo Di Pietro is under investigation for road homicide, the twenty-year-old who yesterday evening, driving a Lamborghini SUV involved in the accident in Casal Palocco, caused the death of a five-year-old boy , Manuel Proietti, and injured his mother and wife little sister . The young man tested positive for cannabinoids.

The position of the other four boys present in the car is also being examined by the Capitoline prosecutors, coordinated by Michele Prestipino: if it were ascertained that in the phases preceding the crash they were inciting the driver and shooting a video to post on social networks for a " challenge” online against them the competition could be contested .

A technical consultancy will also be carried out to ascertain how fast the SUV was traveling.

The mother, 28-year-old Elena Uccello, and the other four-year-old girl are still hospitalized in serious but not life-threatening conditions . The little girl was transferred to the Child Jesus, the mother remains at Sant'Eugenio: she has bruises and is in a strong state of shock.

THE ACCIDENT

The incident took place at 3.45 pm in via Archelao di Mileto, at the intersection with via di Macchia Saponara. The city car driven by the woman collided head-on with the Lamborghini SUV, rented for two days: the impact was terrifying, there were no signs of braking on the road .

According to what was reconstructed, the guys on the SUV were using their mobile phones to shoot a video, perhaps to be used for a challenge on Youtube . The hypothesis is confirmed by a 15-second video that ended up online in which a young man says: " Second day in the Lamborghini without getting out of the car, so far so good". The boys' cell phones were confiscated. The youtuber group calls itself “ TheBorderline ” and the challenge seems to consist in spending 50 hours in a Lamborghini.

The conditions of the child immediately appeared desperate, who was already in cardiac arrest when the rescuers arrived. The 118 operators revived him, then the desperate and unfortunately useless rush to the emergency room of the Grassi hospital in Ostia, where the doctors were only able to ascertain his death . A third car was also involved in the crash.

ONE OF THE GUYS ON IG

“The trauma I'm feeling is indescribable. I just want to say that I have never sat behind the wheel and that I am very close to the victim's family". Thus, commenting three hours ago on his post on his Instagram page, Vito Loiacono , one of the guys from The Borderline, the Youtuber group who would be involved in the accident .

THE TESTIMONIALS

«I was at home when I heard a terrifying bang and I went out, in a few minutes many people came and there was a boy who was giving first aid to the child, trying to give him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. I couldn't get close because it was a gruesome scene», Lucia, a 50-year-old woman who lives a few meters from where the accident took place, is still shaken.

On the sidewalk, where there are still pieces of the Lamborghini's blue bodywork blown off the car during the impact, a boy carries a bouquet of flowers to the foot of a tree, where there are other flowers, a green puppet and a rainbow pinwheel.

«I have lived here for 45 years, the car came from a road from which there is not much visibility - the woman continues -. From what some neighbors told me, the boys in the SUV tried to overtake a car, they went at great speed and hit the car of the lady who was waiting outside the kindergarten ».
