Overview
- The crash occurred in the night to Monday, June 15, and killed 37-year-old Sara Ceccantini of San Giovanni Valdarno who was days away from her planned wedding.
- Greek prosecutors have opened a negligent-homicide probe and investigators are reconstructing the sequence of events after reports that an oncoming vehicle crossed into the wrong lane.
- At least one other person who was travelling with Ceccantini was seriously injured and is being treated in a Greek hospital in life-threatening condition.
- Ceccantini’s hometown publicly expressed shock and offered condolences and local reports say colleagues at the Prada Valvigna plant paused work as a sign of mourning.
- Authorities are still finalizing the cause, arranging repatriation of the body and may pursue legal charges depending on the reconstruction’s findings, a development that raises renewed attention to road safety on Greece’s busy tourist islands.
