San Marino. Young couple lost (and found) in the night in the woods of Fiorentino
Bad adventure in the evening for two young Italian visitors who got stuck in the woods of the Castello di Fiorentino.
The protagonists are a boy and a girl in their early twenties who went from Marche to San Marino to enjoy the spectacle of the RallyLegend.
The two, after observing the cars in the “La Casa” special stage along via XXI Settembre and Strada Ponte, the road that connects Fiorentino to Chiesanuova, decided, around 9.00 pm, to return to the car parked a few kilometers upstream, in the sports field area.
As it is not yet possible to walk towards the field using the road traveled by the rally, it seems that the two were advised to use path no. 6 of the Cammino del Titano, which leads to Castellaccio passing through the local woods and which comes out right along Strada Ponte.
But the path turned out to be anything but easy to walk, also thanks to the darkness and bad weather. So much so that during the walk the girl slipped and got hold of a painful sprained ankle make it impossible to continue.
At that point, cold, lost in the darkness of the forest and lame, the two called for help. Thanks to the smartphone I was able to send their position to the police who quickly started looking. The protagonists of the intervention are the agents of Fire Section of the Civil Police who took the path from Monte Seghizzo heading towards the valley, then supported by a patrol of the Gendarmerie.
The operation lasted about 45 minutes, during which the missing people to run out of phone batteries, also due to the use of electronic flashlights. Fortunately, the agents arrived in time and, once reached, they helped the girl to get back on her feet, supporting her until the exit of the path at Monte Seghizzo.
For her, access to the emergency room was not necessary.
