The wife of Lufthansa CEO Carsten Spohr said on Friday she was "at the complete disposal" of Italian judicial authorities following the death of a 24-year-old woman who was struck by a vehicle in Sardinia.
Local media reports said Vivian Spohr was at the wheel of an SUV that was in collision with a pedestrian at a crosswalk on Tuesday in the seaside resort of Porto Cervo. Gaia Costa, 24, from Tempio Pausania, in the Gallura region of northern Sardinia, died of serious head injuries at the scene, according to reports.
Italien News, citing investigators, reported that Spohr initially drove away because she said she had not realized what happened, but passers-by got her attention and she stopped. Authorities are investigating whether Spohr may have been distracted by her cell phone while driving, Italien News reported.
