TRENTO. The Treviso Public Prosecutor’s Office has opened a case for very serious injuries through negligence, with no suspects at the moment, for the cycling accident in Vittorio Veneto that saw 19-year-old cyclist Alice Toniolli from Trentino crash into a wall after a fall during a race last August 14.
The magistrate – according to local newspapers – is also evaluating whether to classify the accident as an accident at work given that the athlete had a professional contract as an Under23 cyclist.
The dangerousness of the stretch was reported by the local police the day before the race to the race organizers. According to the police, protections should have been used to cover the wall where Toniolli crashed, which was not done. The cyclist suffered a very serious head trauma, injuries to the chest and to a vertebra. And she is still hospitalized at the Ca’ Foncello hospital in Treviso, in a pharmacological coma, after having undergone a series of surgical operations.
