Bigot, truck driver 40 years of leaves, and died on the tarmac as he shook the hand of his friend. He was riding his Kawasaki Ninja 900 and was heading south when he lost control of the bike and crashed into the guardrail and road artery. Mauro Braida, neighbor, was following a short distance away on another bike and saw him die. "When I saw it on the ground with his leg cut off, while losing so much blood, are being met. He was still alive. I called repeatedly, I asked him if he recognized me and crossed his eyes and shook my hand. " With his face streaked with tears, Braida has reconstructed the incident vaguely, still in shock, to police the Palmanova road, intervened on the spot with three patrols. Staring at the lifeless body of his friend, immersed in a pool of blood behind a trace of braking, spanning more than fifty yards, left by the tire on the right lane of the freeway, the only evidence of the extreme effort to stop the travel of the motorcycle before impact. And then, much further, the shape of the electric green Kawasaki, lying across a hundred feet to the south. "We went on Bernadia with another friend but he anticipated the return - told stunned Mauro Braida -. We shared together. And together we arrived at the traffic light Basaldella. When the light turns green before me, behind him was a car. I could not see very well what happened, but I understand something was wrong when I saw a cloud of smoke rising from the motorcycle and Roberto who was trying to slow down, then there was the impact with the guard rail, I stopped a little further to help him: the metal had sliced \u200b\u200bhis leg '. Immediately after the crash arrived at the accident site is a doctor who was on his way to the hospital to take up.
