Overview
- Matilde Baldi, 20, died in Alessandria five days after the collision from irreversible brain injuries, while her mother remains seriously injured and faces multiple maxillofacial surgeries.
- Investigators are examining CCTV and witness accounts that indicate two Porsches were engaged in an improvised high-speed contest reportedly exceeding 200 km/h.
- Early findings indicate the Fiat 500 carrying Baldi and her mother was rear-ended by a Porsche 911 and struck in a chain involving a second Porsche.
- The cars bore German plates but are reported to belong to two small entrepreneurs from Asti, one already known to law enforcement for other matters.
- Corriere della Sera reports the second driver avoided the Fiat 500 and did not stop before later giving his version to traffic police, as his role remains under evaluation, and Baldi’s organs have been donated to help 15 people.
