Singular episode that ended, fortunately, without injuries in the province of Reggio Emilia
A gesture of attention that could have worse consequences. A man stopped to rescue an owl that was in the middle of the road and that he moved to prevent it from being run over. While he was rescuing the owl, an oncoming car collided with his and then ended up in the adjacent ditch. All fortunately without particular consequences for the drivers who were unharmed. It happened at night in Scandiano, in the province of Reggio Emilia, in via Per Rubiera.
what happened
—
A 45-year-old Scandian driving a Volkswagen Polo headed towards Arceto stopped having noticed an owl in the middle of the road. To prevent her from being run over, he rescued her by moving her off the road. While the 45-year-old was taking care of the small nocturnal raptor, a Peugeot 3008 arrived in the same direction of travel led by a 47-year-old, also from Scandiano. The man driving the French car probably did not see the stopped Polo, colliding with it and then ending the race in an adjacent ditch, fortunately without any consequences for the drivers. The carabinieri of the Scandiano lieutenant intervened on the spot.
