Italian Authorities Investigating Fatal Boat Crash off Amalfi Coast
In a tragic incident off the picturesque Amalfi Coast, a prominent New York publisher, Adrienne Vaughan, was killed in a collision between a motorboat she had chartered and a sailing yacht. Italian authorities are investigating the 30-year-old male skipper of the motorboat for manslaughter. At present, no charges have been filed against the skipper, who remains unnamed.
Eyewitnesses reported that the motorboat suddenly turned as it passed the sailing yacht, resulting in a collision with the hull. The impact threw Vaughan into the water, where she tragically lost her life due to a spinning propeller. However, her husband was injured, fortunately not critically, and their two children escaped unharmed.
The skipper himself is said to have suffered pelvic and rib injuries from the crash. Witnesses aboard the sailing yacht claimed that the skipper appeared intoxicated following the incident. In response, authorities took blood samples to test for drugs or alcohol, but the results were inconclusive. Nevertheless, reports from Italian outlets suggest that cocaine was detected in the skipper’s blood, potentially complicating the investigation further.
Meanwhile, doctors aboard the sailing yacht attempted to provide immediate aid to Vaughan and her family. Regrettably, she died before emergency crews could arrive at the scene. The captain of the sailing yacht has also shared his belief that the motorboat was speeding at the time of the collision.
Behind the tragedy, footage from a reception on the sailing yacht shows guests happily dancing just moments before the crash occurred. The incident has shocked and saddened many, especially as Vaughan and her family were enjoying an Italian holiday at the time.
The investigation into this heart-rending accident continues, with authorities diligently working to gather all the necessary evidence. As the case unfolds, the world waits anxiously for justice to be served for the untimely loss of a prominent figure in the publishing industry.
