In Brief

On June 28, a campervan with a Swiss family crashed into a shop window on state road SS16 in Giulianova. Three people were hospitalized, one woman was trapped inside. The cause is under investigation.

On June 28, 2026, around 4:30 PM, a campervan with Swiss license plates lost control and crashed into a shop window on state road SS16 in Giulianova (Teramo province). According to various reports, the shop was closed and the sidewalk was empty, preventing more serious consequences.

The campervan was carrying a family of three — reportedly a couple in their 50s and their 18-year-old daughter. All three were taken to Giulianova hospital with minor injuries. One woman was trapped in the cabin and had to be freed by firefighters from Roseto degli Abruzzi. Three dogs traveling with the family were unharmed and temporarily handed over to a local association.

Cause of the accident

The cause of the crash is being investigated by the Carabinieri. Possible explanations include the driver suddenly falling asleep or suffering a medical episode. Some sources indicate the driver may have dozed off. The shop hit by the campervan is described variously as a hardware store, a gift shop (Home Articoli da Regalo), or a clothing store (Piazza Italia).

Court overturns camper van night parking ban in Wolkenstein

The Regional Administrative Court of Bolzano annulled a 2025 municipal ordinance banning overnight parking of camper vans in public lots in Wolkenstein. The court ruled that the city council lacked authority to impose such traffic restrictions, and a subsequent mayoral decree was also legally insufficient. The lawsuit was filed by the National Association of Camper and Motorhome Owners. The municipality must reimburse the association's legal costs, amounting to a five-figure sum.
