Genova. “I fell asleep due to tiredness from too much work.” He told his lawyer Paolo Scovazzi PR the Culmv dock worker investigated for manslaughter after he hit and killed last night around 3 am Giovanni ‘Francesco’ Macciòwho was checking the seals of a container in the Psa port of Pra’.
The driver responsible for the fatal collision, in the medical-legal examination he underwent at the Galliera hospital immediately after the tragedy, tested positive for cannabinoids but “not in a state of alteration”. He wasn’t even under the influence of alcohol: the breathalyzer and subsequent tests came back negative. The 54-year-old has some criminal records, one for a violent episode dating back over the years and another for resistance.
In addition to working at the PSA in Voltri as a Culmv inspector, the dock worker under investigation also has a second job as a guard for a company that operates in the port of San Benigno. Just this’double work‘, according to what was reported by the dockworker, could be at the origin of the tragedy.
“I had smoked a joint a couple of nights before the accident because I couldn’t sleep” he explained to his lawyer, as he had already admitted to the investigators. The 54-year-old dock worker said he was “destroyed” by Macvò’s death. And he said of his colleague who was on the stationary fifth wheel and was injured:He’s like a brother to me”.
To rebuild the dynamics of the impact the innovative system was also used top-crash used by the traffic police to detect in a few seconds all the elements useful for reconstructing a road accident. Then they were also used drones to see the area from the other side and all the other PSA cameras that may have recorded the fatal accident are also being analysed. The fifth wheel was seized: according to what we learned it was a new vehicle, in use in the port for a few months.
After yesterday’s 24 hours of spontaneous strike, today the port of Genoa started working again, but the pain of colleagues, mixed with anger for a death that seems absurd to many, especially after the images of the dynamics of the accident were released.
And this morning in front of the headquarters of the delegates of Culmv, of which the victim, the investor and also the injured were members, a banner appeared “As guilty as him! Shame!!!” which seems to directly attack the company’s top management on the organization of work.
