Pedestrian struck on strada Carignano on 5 November 2026
Date of the event:
On the evening of 5 November 2026, in Moncalieri, an 84-year-old Italian woman was struck by two vehicles while crossing strada Carignano, the former state road SS20, near the Millionaire bingo hall, heading towards a workshop on the opposite side of the street. The woman, a local resident, suffered multiple trauma with various fractures and was admitted to hospital with a guarded prognosis [1].
How it happened
According to the local police's reconstruction, the woman stopped in the middle of the road and shouted at the cars to stop. A Volkswagen Golf, driven by a man resident in Nichelino and heading towards La Loggia, hit her, throwing her forward. A Fiat Fiorino van, driven by a young man resident in Moncalieri, then ran over her [1][2].
Emergency response and aftermath
Paramedics from Azienda Zero's 118 emergency service took the woman by ambulance to Turin's CTO hospital. Her condition initially appeared not to be serious, but doctors later issued a guarded prognosis [1][2].
The local police impounded both vehicles involved and withdrew the licences of both drivers, who had stopped immediately after the collision. About a hundred metres away, at number 45 on strada Carignano, another pedestrian had been struck shortly before by a car, suffering less serious injuries [1].
