A Swiss couple were killed during a supercar tour of Italy when their Ferrari hit a Lamborghini and then crashed into a camper van — sending the traveler airborne, police said.
A driver in Southern Sardinia filmed a series of supercars driving down State Road 195 on Monday, with Lamborghinis and Ferraris cutting past him as he marveled at the luxury vehicles.
As the supercars continued to overtake a white camper on the road, a red Ferrari could be seen speeding up from behind and approaching a blue Lamborghini as it was about to pass the van.
The two supercars then collided, with the Lamborghini thrown to the right, hitting the bottom corner of the camper so hard that the back of the van flew up, and the vehicle was left balancing on one front tire.

The camper quickly landed perpendicular to the road, the momentum causing it to jump back into the air and land on its side.
The overturned van ended up covering the horror behind it as the crash also caused the red Ferrari to overturn and catch fire, killing its occupants.
Police identified the dead as Swiss tourists Melissa, 63, and Markus Krautli, 67, who had rented a Ferrari, Italian news agency L’Unione Sarda reported.

The campers suffered only minor injuries, and the two passengers in the burning Lamborghini miraculously made it out unscathed.
Lorenzo Mascarin, 62, who was in the camper when the collision happened, said he and his wife were in complete disbelief when they suddenly found themselves upside down in the wrecked van.
“We are looking death in the face,” Mascarin told a local outlet. “There are very long moments of violence where we don’t understand what’s going on.”
He added that he was haunted by the site of the burning Ferrari that killed the Swiss tourist.

“When we came out, we found an inferno,” he said of the fire.
Italian police said the car was driving for the Sardinia Supercar Experience, a tour that allows drivers to rent luxury vehicles to explore the Italian island.
Authorities said the investigation into the crash is still ongoing.
