Motorist plunges to death while urinating

An Italian motorist plunged to his death early on Sunday after stopping at the side of the road to urinate without realizing in the darkness that he was on viaduct nine metres (30 feet) above the ground.

His companion told emergency services that 36-year-old Ermes Calautto jumped over a security rail after stopping the car near Cavolano di Sacile in the northeast at around 3:00am local time.

When he had not returned after a few minutes, she got out of the car to see what happened and heard him groaning in the darkness.

The woman alerted authorities but he was dead when they arrived.
