Santa Venerina, si schianta contro un muro, e muore a 34 anni

Explain the following article in brief:

Still blood on the roads in Sicily. A fatal accident occurred last night in Santa Venerina, along the Via Provinciale. Giuseppe Rapisarda, 34 years old, lost his life. He had been working since 2018 for a company in Catania, and was a van driver responsible for transporting and assembling furniture.

Rapisarda, as reconstructed, crashed with his Golf, just a few steps from home: the impact against the wall was too strong, and there was nothing that could be done for the young man. The intervention of the 118 staff was futile, as they could only confirm the death.

Another accident, also in the province of Catania, in Adrano, caused two fortunately non-serious injuries. Two cars were involved, one of which flipped over. Medical staff from the 118 and carabinieri intervened on the scene.

“Giuseppe Rapisarda has been working since 2018 at Operation company in Catania, and was a van driver responsible for transporting and assembling furniture for Mondo Convenienza – writes the Association of Road Victims and Sicilia Risvegli with President Pietro Crisafulli on social media. – With the utmost urgency, as we have repeatedly emphasized, this Association requests an immediate meeting with the authorities of the Regione Sicilia and the mayors of Catania and the entire province. Enough of the lifelong pain, enough of the victims on the road, let’s do something concrete, let’s not let so many young people die, so many shattered lives, also due to the neglect of institutions that have been absent for many years. A social, human, dramatic plague, a senseless massacre of innocents that should really shake consciences, not only when the young die on the road. Let’s say enough, we can’t take it anymore.”
