A motorcyclist is in critical condition after being involved in a violent head-on collision with a van this afternoon in Carloforte, in the Macchione area.

According to the findings of the Carabinieri who intervened on the scene, a Yamaha XT 600, driven by a sixty-one-year-old pensioner resident on the island, crashed into an Iveco Daily: at the wheel was a 53-year-old worker.

The motorcyclist suffered serious injuries and was rushed by air ambulance to the Brotzu Hospital in Cagliari, where he remains in critical condition. The van driver was unharmed.

The Carabinieri of the local station, with the support of the Operations and Radiomobile Unit of the Carbonia Company, carried out technical surveys and investigations into the dynamics.
