In a devastating turn of events, Swades actress Gayatri Joshi and her husband, real estate mogul Vikas Oberoi, recently survived a fatal accident in Italy. Regrettably, the accident led to the tragic demise of a Swiss couple traveling in a Ferrari.
The incident occurred on Monday along State Road 195, near the town of San Giovanni Suergiu, as Gayatri and Vikas were part of a sports car enthusiasts’ group. According to the latest reports from The Free Press Journal, Vikas Oberoi could potentially face up to seven years in jail if charged and found guilty.
While Gayatri Joshi is known for her role in the Bollywood film “Swades,” her husband Vikas Oberoi is a prominent figure in the real estate industry and serves as the managing director of Oberoi Realty, a leading real estate development company in India.
The unfortunate accident, as captured in videos taken by passing vehicles and subsequently surfaced on Tuesday, involved a collision between the ill-fated Ferrari, a camper van, and the Lamborghini carrying Gayatri and Vikas. The camper van was transporting an unspecified number of local Italian tourists from South Tyrol. Tragically, the Lamborghini went beneath the larger vehicle, causing it to overturn. The Ferrari carrying the Swiss couple erupted into flames, leading to the untimely demise of the elderly couple.
Italian local authorities have identified the deceased individuals as Markus Krautli, 67, and his wife Melissa Krautli, 63, residents of Wallisellen town near Zurich, Switzerland.
In the wake of the accident, Gayatri and Vikas, who were on vacation in Italy, shared with The Free Press Journal, “Vikas and I are in Italy. We met with an accident here (multiple-car collision)… With God’s grace, we both are absolutely fine.”
This tragic incident serves as a somber reminder of the unpredictability of life’s events and the importance of cherishing our loved ones.
