Overview
- Prosecutors in Ivrea opened a case for vehicular homicide, failure to render aid and fleeing the scene, with the investigation currently against unknown persons.
- Video and witness accounts indicate a van rear-ended the mother’s Fiat 500X, after which the driver reportedly paused briefly and then left without helping.
- Investigators are also seeking a second vehicle that may have passed over the infant after the ejection, a scenario they caution remains a working hypothesis.
- Technical and medico-legal examinations are underway to determine why the infant carrier detached and to establish the precise cause of death.
- Police have reviewed thousands of surveillance frames to identify the fleeing drivers, and the mother has been discharged and will be formally interviewed.
