Incidents
On 12 November 2026 a car ran off the A5 motorway near Volpiano, on the stretch between the municipality and Turin, while the driver was heading towards Turin [1][2]. For reasons still to be established, the car lost control, skidded and ended up in the ditch alongside the carriageway; no other vehicles were involved in the accident [1][2]. The two occupants sustained non-serious injuries and were taken by ambulance to the hospital in Chivasso for examination [1][2].
Paramedics from the 118 emergency medical service, firefighters from Torino Stura and Volpiano, and officers of the Turin-Settimo highway police responded to the scene and carried out an assessment to reconstruct the dynamics of the accident [1][2]. The dynamics and causes of the accident remained under investigation by the highway police [2].
