Two Swiss tourists died in a collision between two luxury cars in Sardinia. The Ferrari the victims were driving burst into flames after colliding with a Lamborghini. According to the media, the driver of the second car was an Indian billionaire, and the passenger was his wife – a Bollywood star.
The incident occurred on October 2 near the town of San Giovanni Suergiu in southern Sardinia. As can be seen in the recording provided by the L’Uione Sarda agency, at some point a red Ferrari began to overtake a white camper on a straight road. When it was almost at the height of the larger vehicle, the navy blue Lamborghini located right behind the van also started overtaking.
The recording shows the Lamborghini overturning the camper, hitting its lower part, and then falling off the road. The overturned van covers the rest of the road, so you can’t see what’s happening to the Ferrari pushed forward. L’Uione Sarda reports that the red car burst into flames after the collision. It was not possible to save a married couple from Zurich in Switzerland: a 63-year-old woman and a man four years older than her.

These were long moments of terror during which we did not understand what was happening. When we went outside, it was hell,” said Lorenzo Mascarin, a man who was in the camper with his wife. Nothing serious happened to any of them.
