A Swiss couple who died in a horror crash after their Ferrari crashed into a Lamborghini during an Italian supercar tour have been photographed for the first time.
Video shows the shocking moment the pair’s car crashed into that of another couple as the vehicles tried to pass a camper van, which overturned.
Police in Sardinia confirmed the identities of the victims: Marcus and Melissa Krautli, from Wallisellen near Zurich.
Mr. Krautli worked at the family logistics company Krautli, which had offices in Belgium, Switzerland and Portugal.
Meanwhile, an Indian couple involved in the crash who escaped without injury were identified as Bollywood actress Gayatri Joshi and her husband Vikas Oberoi.

They were driving the Lamborghini involved in the collision with Krautli’s Ferrari and the camper.
Gayatri, who starred in the Bollywood blockbuster Swades, told India’s The Free Press Journal: ‘Vikas and I are in Italy. We had an accident here: a multi-car collision. By God’s grace, we are both absolutely fine.”
Footage of the collision yesterday shows a white van in front of a row of colorful sports cars on the road in southern Sardinia, Italy.
But seconds later the red Ferrari can be seen closely behind the blue Lamborghini, while simultaneously trying to overtake the camper.
It appears that the Lamborghini ends up underneath the van, which is then violently tipped onto its side.
The Ferrari, which is out of sight on the other side of the camper, also overturned and caught fire, trapping the couple inside, according to reports.
Mr. and Mrs. Krautli were 67 and 63 years old. According to local media, they were burned in the incident.
Firefighters and air ambulances were working at the scene and the road was closed.
A couple from Selva di Val Gardena, aged 61 and 62, who were traveling in the camper, were injured and taken to hospital.
‘We were lying sideways in our chairs. For a moment we were silent in disbelief. Then I looked my wife in the eyes and asked her if everything was okay. She nodded,” Lorenzo M, who was in the camper, told Italian news channel L’Unione Sarda.
