Nuns on the run in Italy
Discussion
Four nuns are on the run in Italy after a hit-and-run accident in the northern town of Bergamo.
The nuns were driving a small Citroen which failed to stop at a stop sign and crashed into a Mercedes driven by a shopkeeper.
The 63-year-old trader, who was slightly injured, told police he saw the four nuns accelerate away from the scene.
If found, the nuns could face charges of failure to offer assistance. The driver would likely have her driving license suspended, would be handed a hefty fine and could be sentenced to several months in prison.
"This is the first case of its kind in 25 years of my career," a local police commander was quoted as saying by the online daily Il Nuovo.
Police said they would be extending their search to the nearby Brescia area.
