Overview
- Tukur, in a Bild interview published Saturday, recounted that his wife, photographer Katharina John, suffered life‑threatening injuries on their property in southern Italy in late December 2025.
- He said she stepped out to open a gate, the handbrake was not set, the car rolled, and she was dragged under it after trying to jump back in to stop the vehicle.
- A neighbor found her about two hours later and she was first taken to a local clinic before Tukur arranged an emergency flight to Berlin for specialist care at the Charité.
- Tukur described the scene as catastrophic and said she is now beginning to mobilize, with a long rehabilitation ahead; outlets citing unnamed sources report she may need up to two years of intensive therapy.
- Most published details come from Tukur’s account to Bild and were repeated by major German outlets such as Stern, Focus, and Der Spiegel, with no independent medical reports released.
