Elisa Spadavecchia (66), who was sunbathing on Pinarella Beach in Cervia, Italy, was bulldozed to death at around 11 a.m. on the 24th (local time), according to local media such as La Milano.
A retired teacher, she was on vacation in the area with her husband. At the time of the accident, the husband was reportedly staying at a hotel with his friends.
According to a police investigation, a bulldozer that was reversing the victim lying on the beach stepped on it.
The 54-year-old bulldozer driver, who was shocked immediately after the accident, was seen running and screaming. The scene was so terrible that even a lifesaving worker collapsed when he saw it.
However, questions were raised as to why bulldozers appeared on crowded beaches at the weekend.
Bulldozers were working on beach sand flattening to prepare for the beach season, but this was an unplanned and unauthorized operation.
City Hall said "At the time, there was no request for heavy equipment to be deployed for beach work" he said.
The heavy equipment cooperative in the area also "The sand hill removal work was already completed a few weeks ago" I don't know why the bulldozer was put in. The investigation should make it clear," he stressed.
Some estimate that the work was carried out by the beach goodwill personally requesting it.
In addition, the bulldozer driver was reportedly on trial as the perpetrator of a death accident on the road in 2022.
In the end, he killed the victim while working without permission from the authorities in the absence of a heavy equipment license.
He is currently under investigation for manslaughter.
