A tragic car accident occurred shortly after midnight in Appalto di Soliera, Modena, claiming the life of 35-year-old Domenica Speria.

The incident involved a Fiat 500 and a Dacia Duster, both traveling in the same direction on the road to Carpi.

Speria, a mother and beauty shop owner from Modena, was a passenger in the Fiat 500 driven by a 32-year-old friend, who is now hospitalized with serious injuries.

A 47-year-old man also sustained minor injuries in the crash.

Initial investigations suggest the possibility of a driver distraction or an attempted overtaking maneuver as the cause of the accident.

Emergency services, including local police and fire brigades, responded promptly to the scene.

The community mourns the loss of Speria, with many gathering at her shop to pay their respects.
