Assalted by fans at the Pistoia basketball coach, a 65-year-old driver dies. Surveys in progress

PISTOIA (ITALPRESS) – Tragedia at the end of the basketball game of A2 between RSR Sebastiani Rieti and Estra Pistoia. A bus driver who transported the Tuscan fans died, along the Rieti-Terni highway, after some fans assaulted the bus. A throw of stones and other contingent objects, and even a brick, would hit the victim. The bus was heading from Rieti to Terni.

From the first investigations carried out by those investigating the story, Marianella was the second guide of a bus that was bringing back to Pistoia the Tuscan fans after they had witnessed Rieti to a basketball race valid for the Serie A2 championship.

LE PAROLE DI MELONI E ABODI

“A terrible news that leaves speechless. The assault on the coach of the fans of Pistoia Basket, cost the life to a driver hit by a brick, is an act of unacceptable and insane violence. I express my deep sympathy to the victim’s family and my closeness to those who witnessed this tragedy. I trust that those responsible for this cowardly and criminal act will be identified and quickly secured to justice.” He writes on X the President of the Council, Giorgia Meloni.

“But how can you die like this while you go home after a basketball game? It is shocking the assault perpetrated this evening near Rieti by delinquents who have turned into murderers and will never be called fans. Sports is life and these criminals are far away light years from sports values. Our condolences to the family of the second driver of the bus of the fans of Pistoia, hit to death by the murderous madness”. He writes on X the minister for sport and young people, Andrea Abodi.
