# Two Dead After a Ferrari and Lamborghini Hit an RV

A couple from Switzerland were tragically killed in a three-vehicle accident during a supercar tour through Italy, which opened a homicide investigation. The crash involved a [Lamborghini ](<https://www.thedrive.com/category/lamborghini-news>)Huracan Spyder, a Ferrari Portofino, and an RV. Sadly, the couple driving the Portofino didn't survive.

Dashcam footage from a German couple on vacation shows the entire crash, which is what sparked the investigation. At the beginning of the video, only the RV is ahead of the dashcam-equipped driver. Then several Italian supercars overtook the dashcam driver. A blue [Huracan ](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/watch-this-lambo-huracan-sterrato-get-taken-off-a-massively-sweet-jump>)then tried to overtake the RV but seemingly didn't notice a red[ Ferrari Portofino](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/the-ferrari-portofino-m-is-officially-dead>), which was already overtaking them both. The two Italian supercars collided, sending the Huracan into the RV.

The collision spun the RV, sending it into the air, landing on its side. That's as far as the dashcam footage shows. However, according to *[The Telegraph](<https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2023/10/05/vikas-oberoi-investigation-fatal-car-crash-sardinia/>),* the Portofino reportedly rolled and caught fire, which is what killed its two passengers, Swiss couple Melissa Krautli, 63, and Markus Krautli, 67.

The driver of the Lamborghini Huracan was Indian billionaire Vikas Oberoi, who was with his wife, Bollywood star Gayatri Joshi, both of whom were unharmed. Oberoi, along with every other supercar driver in the clip, crossed a solid white line to overtake the RV, which is illegal in Italy. Since Oberoi made an illegal overtake, which is what led to the crash, Italian police have launched a homicide investigation. However, since Oberoi hasn't been officially charged, he and his wife were free to leave the country and have since returned to India.

Oberoi's real estate company told *The Telegraph*: “The relevant authorities are investigating the incident and until the facts are established, we won’t be able to comment on the matter.”

The lead prosecutor, Giangiacomo Pilia, said that Oberoi is being investigated for "double road homicide."

The couple inside the RV were injured and taken to the hospital but thankfully seem OK. “We had almost arrived in San Giovanni Suergiu when we heard a terrible crash and I lost control of the camper. The vehicle overturned, we found ourselves with our heads upside down. For a moment we were silent in disbelief,” the husband told Italian media, per *The Telegraph*.

“Then I looked into my wife’s eyes and asked her if she was OK. She nodded and said ‘I think so.' When we came out, we thought we were in hell.”

## Author
Nico is a writer and reviewer from New Jersey who probably thinks he’s a lot funnier than he actually is. His love of cars began when he was just a kid playing Gran Turismo 3, grinding out enough race wins with a Mazda Miata to save up for an in-game RUF 911. That passion for small, lightweight sports cars drove his desire to learn more about the industry, get his hands on as many cars as he could, and bring those experiences to life on the page. He cut his teeth writing about BMWs, Volkswagens, and Audis, mostly, and has owned far too many of each. He’s on his fourth 3 Series sedan, but all of his old, cheap German cars have forced him to learn more about car maintenance than his mechanical capability can handle. Too many late nights have been spent scrambling to get a car running by morning so he could get to work. For some reason, he never seems to learn that old Bimmers probably aren’t the best daily drivers. But he loves more than just old German cars. He’ll gladly drive and discuss anything with four (or even three) wheels. Cars aren’t his only passions, though. Nico is also a big nerd and loves movies, video games, comic books, and cares far too much about the New York Giants. So don’t be surprised if you see football references or dumb, obscure movie quotes in any of his car reviews.
