In northern Italy, two people die in a Ferrari that burned out completely after an accident. The first findings about the cause of the accident are leaking out.
Santhià – A white Ferrari lies, almost exactly divided into two parts, on a highway between Ivrea and Santhià in Piedmont. The luxury car with Swiss license plates was torn up directly behind a tunnel. The front part is barely recognizable because it has completely burned out. It's an Easter tragedy. Two people burned to death in the front part of the completely destroyed car in a horror accident on the E25 motorway in northern Italy on Sunday morning (March 31st).
One of the fatalities is said to be a 40-year-old DJ from Switzerland. This is reported by the Italian newspaper
La Repubblica
, among others
. According to the report, a 21-year-old Ukrainian model was sitting in the passenger seat. However, the dead woman was so badly burned that her identity still needs to be officially confirmed using a DNA test.

reports, the two inmates were traveling between the towns of Ivrea and Santhià near Turin. Immediately after the Passo d'Avenco tunnel, the car is said to have skidded and crashed into the central barrier. The Italian news portal
