A 47-year-old police officer, Aniello Scarpati, died in a car accident in Torre del Greco, in the province of Naples . The Naples Police Headquarters announced the death. Another officer was injured.

The patrol car they were in collided with another car , likely during a chase. A reconstruction of what happened is underway.

Investigators are currently suggesting a collision was caused by the driver losing control while traveling in the opposite lane. The car, a BMW X4, apparently struck the patrol car, causing it to plunge into a ravine near the Italian State Railways area.

Scarpati apparently died almost instantly, while the other police officer was taken to the hospital and underwent delicate surgery: the man is hospitalized in serious condition with a guarded prognosis.
