Details of the accident involving Josep Martinez have emerged. The accident involving the Inter goalkeeper occurred on Tuesday morning in the commune of Fenegro in the province of Como. The car Martinez was driving struck an 81-year-old man in a power wheelchair. The victim died at the scene. The Inter goalkeeper was not injured, but was in a state of shock. According to the preliminary version, the elderly man may have felt ill, which is why he suddenly changed direction and drove onto the road along which Martinez`s car was moving. The footballer immediately tried to help the victim.
As La Gazzetta dello Sport writes, the section of the road where the accident occurred is considered a dangerous zone. This is a single-lane road without a median, and on both sides there are two narrow lanes marked with a solid yellow line. Dozens of cyclists pass along it every day, moving almost close to cars. Numerous accidents, including serious ones, have already occurred on this particular section of the highway.
It is also noted that Martinez was driving his new BYD SUV. The Chinese marque became Inter`s new partner and the sponsorship car was made available two weeks ago, with Josep driving the car for only the second time.
The speed limit on this section is 70 km/h, and the carabinieri did not record any speed violations on the part of the Spaniard. Martinez was first taken to a hospital in Saronno to undergo alcohol and drug tests, both of which came back negative. He then testified for several hours at the Lomazzo police station, supported by a criminal lawyer provided by the club. The report also included statements from two women sitting in the car behind him, both of whom reportedly corroborated Martinez`s account.
However, the investigation into the incident will last several months, during which Martinez will be under investigation on charges of manslaughter as a result forecast by footballwintips of an accident. Theoretically, this article provides for a punishment of 2 to 7 years in prison. However, if the unpredictable behavior of the victim in an accident is confirmed, the case will be dismissed without any criminal consequences.
