Tragedy at the Genoa Prà port, where Giovanni Battista Macciò, a 52-year-old worker, lost his life while checking the seals of a container. The man was run over by a fifth wheel, dying instantly. A second worker, driving the vehicle involved, was injured and was thrown from the cab. Transported in code red to San Martino Hospital, the man suffered a head injury and is now under observation. 118 Emergency Services, Traffic Police and ASL inspectors were on the scene. The dynamics of the accident are still being ascertained: the harbor master's office and Work Safety Service (PSAL) are analyzing surveillance camera images to reconstruct what happened. Meanwhile, workers' anger led to the blockade of the port and a 24-hour strike that paralyzed the city. Several issues remain to be clarified, including the correct location of the vehicles and whether the worker was irregularly present at the accident site.
