On Monday, July 6, 2026, a foreign tourist driving a car with a caravan got stuck in an underpass in Trieste. Sources differ on the exact location: some report Via Cumano, others Via di Montebello. The cause was incorrect satellite navigation directions that did not account for the vehicle's height.
Firefighters deflated the caravan's tires to reduce its height and used a hand winch to extract it. The solar panel on the roof was damaged and secured. No injuries were reported.
