Italian Woman Killed in Mykonos Collision During Bachelorette Trip

Greek authorities have opened an omicidio stradale probe that requires forensic exams before the victim’s body can be repatriated.

Overview

  • The crash occurred late on the night between Sunday and Monday and killed Sara Ceccantini, a Prada employee from the Arezzo area who was on a bachelorette trip, while at least one companion suffered serious injuries and remains hospitalized.
  • Greek police have detained the two drivers involved, identified as one Greek and one Italian, and say breath and blood tests on both found no traces of alcohol.
  • Investigators are examining two competing reconstructions — that the car carrying Ceccantini made a U‑turn into oncoming traffic or that another vehicle lost control and struck the group’s car — and are collecting witness statements and vehicle inspections to establish the sequence.
  • Medico‑legal procedures including an autopsy are underway in Greece and officials say those steps must finish before the body can be sent home, so no repatriation date has been set.
  • Local grief has prompted Prada to pause activity at the nearby plant and a public fundraiser for Ceccantini’s young daughter has raised more than €14,000 to help the family.
