Here's a rough translation of the news story, and the photo of the car.

"A serious accident occurred shortly before noon lane north of the A30, between the junctions of Mercato San Severino and Castel San Giorgio. The driver of a car lost control of the vehicle, which is folded several times. Died instantly the man who was driving. Unharmed child of twelve who was traveling with him. In place are still engaged means of firefighters and police. The victim is the 49 year old Salvatore Noviello, a businessman in Giffoni Sei Casali. He was owner of the company that produces Nsr slot cars, better known as electric cars from tracks toy. The company exports models in Spain, Germany and Asia. The father of the small car died after he lost control of the vehicle near Castel San Giorgio."

Yes, a very sad day indeed.

Utterly tragic, deeply saddening news.
Totally incredible but amazing that a 12 year child survived that wreck. The vehicle is unrecognisable.
I can only hope the child is not too traumatised by this horrid accident.

I've been thinking about Jules' concern about the trauma the 12 year old experienced. When I was 4, my family was wrecked by a jerk on a gravel road waaay out in the country in the Mississippi Delta. We had an old pickup truck, so the non-safety glass that my folks hit cut them up on their faces. Head wounds of any kind bleed like crazy, however small or large, so as we walked to find help, both of them were dripping blood on the hot dusty field roads. You would think that would be a nightmare, but the truth is, if it weren't a family story, I might have completely forgotten it. As it is, I remember sitting on a bench in the hospital, swinging my feet and waiting for them to come out of the treatment rooms. I got a lump on my head, they got a lot of stitches, and the old truck was destroyed. Later, when I was 17, I was in another wreck, a bad one at high speed with friends on a trip on the interstate. I never made the connection at all. I was fine, the other guys had lumps, especially the driver (he got worse than that when his father found out how the wreck happened), and the GTO was wiped out (partially disassembled). You would think that it would make a person very gunshy about cars, but it just never came up. I suspect that kids are so much more resilient than we think, the boy has a good chance of rising above this. I surely hope so.
