The article describes a tragic accident that occurred in the late afternoon on State Road 114, between Syracuse and Catania, in the Augusta area. The accident resulted in one death and one injured person. According to initial reports, the victims were in a car when, for reasons to be determined, the vehicle overturned, resulting in the death of the driver, a 32-year-old from Gela. The passenger, a friend who was in the same car, was taken to the emergency room at Umberto I Hospital in Syracuse.
