The community of Arzachena, Sardinia, is in shock following a fatal head-on collision early this morning. The crash claimed the lives of two young men, aged 17 and 18, both of Moroccan origin. A third friend, aged 16 and also of Moroccan origin, was hospitalized in critical condition.
The victims were travelling to their workplace at Aquadream water park in nearby Baja Sardinia. The 18-year-old was driving a Ford Fiesta when, for reasons still under investigation, it collided head-on with an SUV carrying two women. Both women sustained injuries and are currently hospitalized in Nuoro.
Aquadream water park, where the deceased young men worked, has closed today as a mark of respect. Management and staff expressed profound disbelief upon learning the news.
Local police and traffic police (Polizia Stradale) are actively working to reconstruct the incident’s dynamics and determine responsibility.
