Italy strange but true: armoured tank and scooter in accident

Anyone who’s ever attempted driving in Italy knows that you take your life in your own hands.
That is until the Italian drivers get out and then all hell breaks lose.
Touring Italy on a Vespa might be very romantic, but it’s not necessarily recommended on the basis of road safety.

I don’t like to think of what this guy’s Italian scooter looked like after an accident with an armoured tank.

Yes, you read that correctly: at 11am in the centre of Messina, an armoured tank and a scooter collided.
It appears that the military vehicle was part of police escorted convoy, and that in a manoeuvre it collided with a scooter who was passing at the time.
Fortunately the rider wasn’t hurt, but I imagine he saw his life flash before his eyes in the form of an enormous and extremely intimidating armoured vehicle.

Traffic was stopped for about half an hour and what a scooter was doing anywhere near an army tank escort is anyone’s guess.
