Italian police on Friday searched the
home of Matteo Di Pietro, a 20-year-old YouTuber probed for
vehicular homicide in the death of five-year-old Roman boy
Manuel Proietti, judicial sources said.
Di Pietro, 20, was driving an SUV Lamborghini that crashed into
a Smart driven by the boy's mother, who was seriously hurt along
with his sister in the accident outside Rome on Wednesday.
Prosecutors suspect Di Pietro and the other four occupants of
the SUV were taking part in a YouTube challenge, filming their
fast-driving exploits for the Web, when he collided with the
Smart having taken his eyes off the road at Casal Palocco.
