" Alex Zanardi did not hold the cell phone in his hand at the time of the crash". This is remembered by Alessandro Maestrini, the videomaker from Perugia who took over the accident . "After facing a climb pedaling with his hands - he says -, at the time of the descent Zanardi took the phone and did some low-speed shots, then put it away, put it away, and continued the descent to the point of "accident. Some time after the crash, the cell phone rang from the handbike compartment and was taken by the police." Investigations into the dynamics of the accident therefore continue. Alex Zanardi clasped his hands on the handlebars of the handbike while driving down the road near Pienza (Siena) where on 19 June he had an accident against a truck during the relay race Obiettivo Tricolore. This is what emerges from videos acquired in the investigation by the Siena prosecutor's office on the matter. From some videos already in the possession of the investigators, and already viewed, it would therefore appear that Zanardi was in control of his handbike. The cell phone that Alex Zanardi wore during the Obiettivo Tricolore relay was seized by the carabinieri. According to what has been learned, the telephone is available to investigators for any checks. The handbike on which Zanardi traveled was also seized: the vehicle could be subjected to technical tests to reconstruct the dynamics of the impact with the truck, in particular to define the points of impact between the two vehicles.
