Porto Cervo, Italy — A tragic incident involving the wife of Lufthansa’s CEO has led to a criminal investigation following a fatal accident that resulted in the death of a young babysitter. Reports indicate that Vivian Alexandra Spohr, 51, allegedly struck 24-year-old Gaia Costa with her vehicle as Costa attempted to cross a pedestrian crosswalk in the upscale seaside resort of Porto Cervo.
Authorities are currently investigating Spohr for negligent homicide. Accusations surfaced that she fled the accident scene; however, her legal representation vehemently denied these claims, stating that Spohr attempted to provide aid to Costa after the collision. The incident occurred around 1:30 p.m. on a Tuesday, while Costa was reportedly signaling to alert drivers of her presence.
Costa sustained severe injuries, including a critical head trauma, and despite on-site medical efforts that lasted over 20 minutes, she was pronounced dead at the scene. Eyewitness accounts describe her attempting to halt the SUV, waving her arm just before the impact. Harrowing images from the aftermath of the accident depict a chaotic scene with multiple emergency vehicles present.
Initial statements suggested that Spohr, who was accompanied by her daughter at the time, was unaware of the accident until a passerby informed her. Reports recount her fainting after grasping the gravity of the situation. Yet, her attorney, Angelo Merlini, asserted that Spohr did indeed stop and rendered first aid prior to her own distress.
Investigations revealed that Spohr’s vehicle traveled at a low speed at the time of the collision, and she underwent alcohol and drug testing, both of which yielded negative results. Surveillance footage has corroborated the details of Costa’s last moments, indicating her attempts to evade the approaching vehicle.
The tragic death has resonated within the community, as Mayor Gianni Addis expressed his condolences, highlighting Costa’s active role in local cultural events. The mayor emphasized the significant loss felt by the community, given Costa’s commitment to its social fabric.
As the investigation continues, authorities have seized Spohr’s SUV for further technical analysis, while an autopsy on Costa was conducted shortly after the accident. The emotional consequences of this incident extend far beyond the immediate tragedy, serving as a somber reminder of the vulnerabilities present in daily life.
