Several toll booths closed. Injured recovered among the wreckage. Multiple paragraph breaks in the response.

Pile-up on the A22, early morning, possibly due to the fog, between the exits of Reggiolo (Reggio Emilia) and Carpi (Modena): at least ten injured and long queues. In detail: also closed the A22 – A4 connection southbound, branches Milano-Modena, Venezia-Modena, and A22 – A1 connection northbound, branches Milano-Brennero and Bologna-Brennero. Autostrade per l’Italia personnel are on-site to signal the tailback and facilitate the flow of vehicles.

The decision to close the entrance stretch was taken to reduce pressure. The ramps will be gradually reopened as the situation resolves. The count of the injured is at least ten people, including two in critical condition.

One was taken to the hospital in Baggiovara (Modena) and one to Bologna. The fire brigade intervened with a crane from Modena, and teams from Carpi, Reggio Emilia, Mantova, Guastalla, and Suzzara arrived for a second accident at km 288, still southbound, shortly after involving heavy vehicles.
