A motorist died and four other people were injured in a road accident that occurred last night around 4am after a frontal collision with another car along the Florence-Pisa-Livorno highway after the Interporto Est exit in Livorno, towards the Tuscan capital. 

According to reports, based on an initial reconstruction, one of the two cars involved would have taken the freeway in the wrong direction.   

The fire brigade intervened on the spot to extract two people who were stuck in the vehicles.

The carriageway of the freeway has been temporarily closed to traffic to allow rescue operations
