At the halt imposed by the carabinieri he did not stop and, on the contrary, ran away through the streets of Dolianova, even bumping into a vehicle. The eventful episode featured a 32-year-old. The Radiomobile soldiers had set up a checkpoint in via Ugo Foscolo and lowered the paddle as the man-driven car, an Audi A3, passed. Instead of respecting the order, the driver accelerated past and into the town where he rammed a Ford Fiesta at the wheel of a 76-year-old who, fortunately, was unharmed.

The fugitive, however, was recognized by the carabinieri who immediately ascertained that the Audi belonged to the man's companion and did not have compulsory RCA insurance. Furthermore, he never obtained a driving license and had already been sanctioned last October.

The car was subjected to administrative seizure while the 32-year-old was reported on the loose.
