Camper van crash on A1 highway: six injured, infant in serious condition

The municipality of Castelletto Ticino has abandoned plans to build a camper parking area on Via Varallo Pombia. The decision follows months of political debate and opposition from the minority group, which questioned the project's feasibility. The administration will now prioritize the redevelopment of Cicognola beach and a new central parking lot.

A collision involving a motorhome occurred on the A1 motorway in Italy. Six people were injured, including a seven-month-old baby in critical condition. A medical helicopter landed at the scene; footage of the landing has been released.

Argentinian TV host Belen Rodriguez posted an Instagram photo at a motorhome entrance, highlighting the trend of road travel. She noted that this format allows changing plans, sleeping in different locations, and living with minimal belongings.

Unknown assailants fired at the camper of two German tourists in Sardinia. The incident occurred on the morning of June 18 in Villacidro. The tourists were unharmed, but bullets shattered the windshield and hit the bedspread. Police arrested a local farmer for illegal weapons possession; his involvement in the shooting is unconfirmed.

Italian manufacturer Giottiline has introduced the second model of its 'Be Young' special edition, the Giottivan 54 TY. Based on the Citroën Jumper or Peugeot Boxer, the 5.41-metre camper van comes with a Truma Combi gas heater, compressor fridge, awning, and Easy Clean upholstery. The base price starts at €46,800.

Construction has started on a new camper van area in Cividate Camuno, Italy. The €240,000 project includes 40 pitches with utilities, funded by the Ministry of Tourism and the municipality, with opening expected in spring-summer 2026.
