Two burn to death in supercar tour crash as Ferrari and Lamborghini smash into camper van during overtake | The Sun

TWO tourists burnt to death after a Ferrari and a Lamborghini smashed into a camper van during a supercar tour.

The two powerful motors both tried to overtake at the same time before crashing into the van, causing it to flip over in a country road in Sardinia, Italy.


A pair of Swiss tourists who were in the Ferrari were killed as the wreckage burst into flames.

Melissa Krautli, 63, and Markus Krautli, 67, were named as the unfortunate victims.

Video from a driver behind the tragic incident on October 2, shows the full crash as it happens.

A red Ferrari then speeds alongside the moving Lambo and the pair touch, sending them flying towards the camper van and leaving all three in opposite directions.

The Ferrari is behind the tipped van and can’t be seen in the video, but according to local media it caught fire, trapping the poor couple inside as they burnt to death.

As the cars collide the woman in the video can be heard screaming before the daunting sound of the nasty impact can be heard.

The Lamborghini ends up down a ditch but the pair inside can be seen moving at the end of the footage telling the cars around them they are okay.
