A dangerous joke that could have very serious consequences. This is the one implemented by a 41-year-old from Villaspeciosa who last night at Decimomannu tugged a 14-year-old who was riding a Piaggio moped. The boy thus lost control of the vehicle, crashing into a car. After causing the accident, the 41-year-old then fled.

The 14-year-old was injured in the impact, fortunately not seriously, while the car he hit - a Mini Cooper driven by a 53-year-old man - was damaged.

After the alarm, the carabinieri of the local station arrived on the spot, who collected the testimonies, and then set out on the trail of the person in charge.

The 41-year-old was then tracked down to his home, where he had returned as if nothing had happened. The military then arrested him for "escaping following a road accident with injuries", a variant of the failure to provide assistance.

Now he is under house arrest, waiting to appear before the judge of the Court of Cagliari.
