A Swiss couple was killed during an Italian supercar tour when their Ferrari struck a Lamborghini and then crashed into a camper van — sending the camper flying into the air, police said.
A driver in South Sardinia took video footage as several supercars were driving down State Road 195 on Monday, with Lamborghinis and Feraris overtaking him as he marveled at the luxury vehicles.
As the supercars proceed to overtake a white camper on the road, a red Ferrari can be seen speeding up from behind and approaching a blue Lamborghini just as it is about to pass the van.
The two supercars then collide, with the Lamborghini tossed to the right, smacking the corner of the camper’s underside with such force that the van’s rear flies up, and the vehicle is left balancing on a single front tire.
The camper quickly lands perpendicular to the road, with the momentum causing it to jump back up into the air and fall on its side.
The flipped van ultimately masks the horror behind it as the crash also caused the red Ferrari to overturn and burst into flames, killing its occupants.
Police identified the deceased as Swiss tourists Melissa, 63, and Markus Krautli, 67, who had rented the Ferrari, Italian news agency L’Unione Sarda reports.
The occupants of the camper only suffered minor injuries, and the two occupants in the trashed Lamborghini miraculously made it out unharmed.
Lorenzo Mascarin, 62, was in the camper when the collision happened, saying he and his wife were in utter disbelief when they suddenly found themself upside down in the destroyed van.
“We looked death in the face,” Mascarin told the local outlet. “There were very long moments of terror in which we didn’t understand what was happening.”
He added that he was haunted by the site of the burning Ferrari that killed the Swiss tourists.
“When we came out, we found hell,” he said of the flames.
Italian police said the cars were driving for the Sardinia Supercar Experience, a tour that allows drivers to rent luxury vehicles to explore the Italian island.
Authorities said the investigation into the crash is still ongoing.
