Olbia, falls off his bike through a door and dies: the motorist sentenced to six months

The judge of the Court of Tempio, Alessandro Cossu, sentenced Marco Angelo Appeddu, 60, from Olbia, to six months' imprisonment, accused of manslaughter over the death of Giovanni Achenza , long-time general manager of the Municipality of Olbia.

The city manager died in March 2018, aged 70, after a very long hospital stay .

Achenza, two years earlier, had fallen off his bicycle while riding down via Barcellona , hitting his head on the sidewalk after being hit by the door of a parked car.

According to the prosecutor, Appeddu had opened the door without checking the passage of people or vehicles , while at that very moment Achenza arrived on his bicycle. Appeddu's lawyer, Alberto Sechi, is evaluating the appeal.
