In Brief

On May 8, 2026, a camper with a couple on board veered off the Romito road in Livorno and fell into a ravine. Trees cushioned the fall. Both occupants were hospitalized with minor injuries.

Accident on the Romito road

On the evening of May 8, 2026, on the Romito road between Castel Sonnino and Ruggiolo (near Quercianella), a camper carrying an Italian couple lost control, left the roadway, and plunged into a ravine. According to some reports, the vehicle hit a curb and came to rest on the edge of the cliff, held by dense vegetation; others say it overturned and stopped on the slope. Trees, including a pine that prevented a fall into the sea, cushioned the impact.

Casualties and rescue

The driver (reportedly a man around 80) got out on his own; his companion was rescued by Misericordia volunteers. Both were taken to hospital with minor injuries. Firefighters, two ambulances, and police responded. A crane was needed to recover the camper. Traffic was regulated alternately during the operation. The cause of the accident is under investigation.

Volunteers' motorhome supporting forest family seized for lack of insurance

Municipal police removed a motorhome parked in front of the community in Vasto, used by volunteers supporting the Trevallion Birmingham family. The vehicle was found to be uninsured, as the policy had expired four days earlier and the 15-day grace period had passed. Owners paid approximately 600 euros in fines and fees to recover it. Despite the seizure, volunteers continue their protests, including demonstrations at the juvenile court in L'Aquila and weekly prayer gatherings.
