Milan Porsche Crash Kills 21-Year-Old Driver

Police probe speed, video, toxicology and liability tied to a leased two‑seat car carrying three.

Overview

  • A Porsche 718 Spyder with German plates lost control on a curve in Porta Vercellina and hit four parked cars early Sunday near 6 a.m.
  • Lorenzo Mattia Persiani was rushed to Policlinico in critical condition and died after emergency surgery.
  • Two passengers, ages 19 and 20, sustained contusions and were not in life‑threatening condition.
  • The car is leased to a dental practice tied to his family, and Corriere reports the owner had barred him from using it after two prior crashes, which he allegedly ignored while the man was away.
  • The two‑seat model carried three people, with both women sharing the passenger seat, a detail that could affect insurance and safety findings.
  • Investigators from Milan’s local police closed the road for measurements and are reviewing CCTV and toxicology.
  • The case has renewed focus on young renters using high‑powered cars for nightlife, a trend rental firms say has grown in big cities.
