Gonnosfanadiga: the off-road flight with the motorcycle was fatal

Alessandro Sogus, the forty-four year old from Gonnese who had a motorcycle accident on Sunday, died after two days in hospital. He leaves his wife and two children as well as "a great void in everyone's heart".

"He was a very generous and helpful man, which is why he was well liked," said the family, closed in their grief. One of the children, still a minor, wanted to add something to the words of his brothers-in-law and friends: «He was a person dedicated to work and for this reason, despite the difficulties, the butcher's shop worked. He was also a wonderful father. '

Sogus died yesterday morning. He had been in intensive care for two days, after having undergone head surgery. He had been brought to the Brotzu hospital in Cagliari in red code on Sunday afternoon, intubated, with the helicopter rescue after the 118 doctors together with those of the helicopter rescue had tried to revive him for more than an hour.

Drama on the state highway

On Sunday, around 4 pm, Alessandro Sogus was traveling along the state road 4 between Pabillonis and Gonnosfanadiga when, about 500 meters from the roundabout that allows you to reach Guspini and San Gavino Monreale, he lost control of the bike which ended up in a field. The motorcyclist's body was thirty meters away. In the impact Sogus sustained several injuries and hit his head. Rescue had arrived on the spot called by some farmers in the area.

The dynamics of the accident are not clear and the hypotheses to be examined remain many for the carabinieri of Gonnosfanadiga and Villacidro who are working on the investigations. Sogus could have lost control of the black Honda 600 for many reasons and only investigations can provide a complete picture.

The country

Yesterday from late morning until after lunch the rumors in the village were chasing each other. On social media, greeting posts for Alessandro Sogus were constantly written and deleted. Many friends and relatives of the butcher wanted them to wait six hours from the time the doctors declared brain death before confirming the news of the death.

In the afternoon, many abandoned themselves to a memory about the owner of the butcher's shop in via Porru Bonelli. A collective mourning for Gonnosfanadiga. Someone remembered the long chats about basketball, someone else the passion for bmx and some friends smiled nostalgically about how he spoke with enthusiasm about politics.
