Violent dispute on Palermo-Catania highway leads to stabbing and multiple hit-and-run

 A quarrel between a motorcyclist and a car driver escalated into a stabbing and subsequently a multiple hit-and-run. This occurred last night on the A19 Palermo-Catania highway, near Bagheria.

According to an initial reconstruction, the motorcyclist stabbed the driver of a car during a dispute. In response, the car driver reportedly ran over the group of motorcyclists traveling with the assailant, before fleeing the scene.

The incident took place just before the Bagheria exit, heading towards Palermo. Emergency responders from the 118 medical service and law enforcement officers were immediately on the scene. One of the motorcyclists hit was urgently transported to the emergency room at the Civic Hospital in Palermo, while investigators are working to clarify the dynamics of the incident.

They are collecting testimonies and analyzing any available surveillance camera footage to understand the responsibilities and reasons that led to the escalation of violence. Law enforcement continues its investigation to locate the fleeing driver and accurately reconstruct the events.
