Suspect Lerry Gnoli, 54, had been working on a 15-tonne tracked bulldozer after a long evening out on the dunes at the Pinarella di Cervia beach on north-eastern Italy’s Adriatic Coast.
Police have accused him of reversing the deadly vehicle straight over the holidaymaker as she bent down to pick up a shell.
She was crushed to death almost instantly, cops say.
Witnesses say the bulldozer had no warning lights or audible reversing alerts as it ploughed into the retired teacher.
