He crashed into an articulated lorry traveling towards Olbia on the stretch of road of the old provincial road 597 about a kilometer from the crossroads for Tula, near Ozieri .

Shortly after 4pm, Antonio Passino, a well-known 61-year-old lawyer from Sassari , was killed in the crash while driving a Nissan Qashqai SUV.

The man was proceeding towards Sassari and, perhaps due to an illness or a distraction, he would have lost control of the vehicle and would have crashed into the articulated lorry traveling on the two-way street in the opposite direction to his .

The driver driving the vehicle would have tried to avoid the collision by jumping into the ditch as far as possible.

The stretch where the accident occurred is straight and with a good view and constitutes the old part of the route on which work is underway for the construction of the four-lane Sassari-Olbia road.

The Ozieri firefighters, the carabinieri and the ambulance with the 118 doctors arrived on the spot, but they could not do anything but ascertain the man's death.
