Fatal accident on the 127 bis near the "Il Ruscello" nightclub in Alghero.
The victim was Amalia Delogu, 85. Three others were also injured: the victim's 63-year-old brother (who was driving), her 84-year-old sister—who is in critical condition—and a 46-year-old niece. They were transferred to hospitals in Sassari and Alghero.
The car in which the four, all from Usini but owners of a house in Alghero, were traveling went out of control and overturned on the road. No other vehicles were involved.
The emergency medical service, along with a helicopter, firefighters and law enforcement, were on site.
The driver was nearly strangled by his seat belt , which was cut by a local police officer with a knife.
