Perhaps he tried to get the attention of the bus driver who had just left, perhaps Zaccaria Belatik, 19 years old, wanted to convince him to stop to let him and his friends get on. But the driver was still looking at the left mirror because he was entering the lane with the line 8 bus for Seriete (Bergamo) and could not see that boy who was running dragging the electric scooter.
The fact is that Zaccaria was killed by that bus in front of the Bergamo station and under the eyes of the two friends with whom he wanted to have breakfast in Borgo Palazzo this morning and then spend the morning in the city center on the holiday.
Zaccaria Belatik had Moroccan roots but was born and raised in Italy: he lived with his parents and two younger brothers in Grignano, a fraction of Brembate, in the province of Bergamo.
The father found the strength to tell BergamoNews that his son was going through a very happy period: "He had found a job a couple of months ago in a company that produces plastic and had also got a license to drive the forklift". He had worked also yesterday, Saturday. Then this morning the decision to spend a few hours with friends in the city.
"Five minutes before we were laughing together", Youssine Olyim, a friend of his, 17 years old from Torre Boldone told BergamoNews.
Zaccaria, his friends remember, practiced kickboxing. The parents will organize a moment of prayer in the Islamic center of Curno.
