Teacher Crushed to Death on Beach

A 66-year-old retired English teacher was killed when a bulldozer operator, allegedly under the influence of cocaine, ran over her while she collected seashells on an Italian beach on May 24. Elisa Spadavecchia was vacationing at Pinarella di Cervia with her ex-husband when the fatal incident occurred around 10 a.m.

The bulldozer operator, 54-year-old Lerry Gnoli, was performing unauthorized construction work on the beach when he reversed the 15-ton tracked vehicle directly over Spadavecchia. Witnesses reported the bulldozer lacked warning lights and audible reversing alerts as it struck the unaware holidaymaker, crushing her to death almost instantly.

Giovanni Sfregola, Spadavecchia’s ex-husband and a retired police officer, discovered her body using the Find My iPhone feature after she failed to return from her morning walk. Sfregola described being consumed by what he called an “ocean of pain” following the discovery. The scene was so disturbing that a lifeguard who witnessed the incident became ill and required hospitalization.

Toxicological tests revealed Gnoli was positive for cocaine at the time of the accident, though investigators have not determined when he consumed the substance. During questioning on May 30, Gnoli stated he was reversing when he suddenly struck her, claiming he noticed immediately and heard screams from a lifeguard.

The incident marked the second time Gnoli faced charges related to a fatal accident while under the influence of cocaine. In 2022, he received a two-and-a-half-year sentence for road homicide after killing an 83-year-old pedestrian in Pisignano while driving under the influence of the same substance. His driver’s license had been revoked following that conviction, though he was permitted to operate construction vehicles as long as he avoided public roads.

More than a month after the beach tragedy, the Court of Ravenna issued a custodial remand order for Gnoli’s arrest. Carabinieri from Cervia-Milano Marittima, working with the local Coast Guard maritime office, carried out the arrest on charges of manslaughter and serious workplace safety violations.

Investigations revealed Gnoli was conducting dune-leveling work using his own tracked vehicle, which lacked required license plates and visual and sound signaling devices mandated by law. Authorities determined the construction work was not authorized by the Municipality of Cervia, raising questions about who permitted or failed to supervise Gnoli’s activities.

Spadavecchia had taught English at Liceo Scientifico Quadri in Vicenza before retiring several years before the COVID-19 pandemic. Colleagues remembered her with affection following news of her death. Anna Spata expressed sadness and recalled Spadavecchia with esteem, while Cinzia Zanesco noted she was enjoying her retirement phase with her young granddaughter. Elena Ruffato described colleagues as dismayed and speechless in the face of the tragedy.

The couple had recently celebrated the birth of a grandson, who was less than three months old at the time of the accident. Sfregola indicated they were overjoyed about the new grandchild, making the loss even more devastating for the family. Spadavecchia’s funeral was held at the church of San Marco Evangelista in Creazzo, in the province of Vicenza, with the mayor of Cervia, Mattia Missiroli, attending the service.

Gnoli’s criminal history extends beyond the 2022 road homicide conviction. In 2019, he was arrested for resisting a public official while under the influence of drugs and was found in possession of cocaine. His lawyer, Vittoria Manes, stated that Gnoli expressed being “terribly sorry” for the tragedy and sent condolences to Spadavecchia’s family, though he claimed authorization to perform the beach work.

The Ravenna Prosecutor’s Office continues investigating the circumstances surrounding the unauthorized construction work. Authorities are examining potential liability of third parties who may have authorized or failed to supervise Gnoli’s activities on the beach. The case has raised concerns about construction site safety protocols and the supervision of heavy machinery operations in public areas frequented by tourists and residents.

Gnoli was transferred to Ravenna prison pending trial proceedings. The investigation continues to focus on determining how an individual with a revoked license and previous homicide conviction was able to operate heavy construction equipment in an area where members of the public were present during peak beach season.

If you want to hang out, you've gotta take her out, cocaine
If you want to get down, flattened on the ground, cocaine

Getting an Austin Powers vibe here.  

No shit. Was she deaf? How do you lack the situational awareness to know that you are in the vicinity of a bulldozer and should get the fuck away from the bulldozer? Was she dead asleep on the beach?
