Josep Martinez involved in accident: hits and kills man in wheelchair | OneFootball

A tragedy near Appiano Gentile involves the second goalkeeper of the Nerazzurri, Josep Martinez.

As reported by ANSA, an 81-year-old man, who was traveling on an electric wheelchair this morning around 9:30 along the provincial road 32 in Fenegrò (Como), died after being hit by a car driven by Martinez.

According to an initial reconstruction — still under review by the carabinieri — it emerged that the victim, 81 years old, had left the bike path to reach the opposite lane, thus crossing the roadway just as the footballer was approaching. One of the hypotheses is that he may have had a sudden illness, and the death occurred instantly.

Inter has canceled the press conference of coach Christian Chivu, scheduled for early afternoon.
