(ANSA) - Albenga, March 20 - Traffic police in Genoa have sent fine to a cyclist over a March accident in which he was killed, media reported on Thursday.

Romolo Gravellone, 92, died April 15, two weeks after being hit by a car while on cycling in the small town of Albenga, Liguria. Following his death and incident investigation, Gravellone was found responsible of violating Italian road laws and was sent a 57-euro fine.

According to a traffic police report, "Gravellone created danger and obstruction to other road users".

Albenga municipal police explained that the fine was processed on April 2 through a mechanized printing and mailing system, making it "impossible" to recall it.

A lawyer for the Gravellone family said they would file an appeal.
