Bollywood star Gayatri Joshi is seen ‘crying’ beside Lamborghini after fatal supercar crash that saw Swiss couple burn to death – as her billionaire husband Vikas Oberoi is investigated over ‘road homicide’

Images have emerged of Bollywood star Gayatri Joshi in tears as she sat in the road following a supercar crash which killed a Swiss couple on the Italian island of Sardinia.

Ms Joshi, 46, and her husband Vikas Oberoi, 54, were allegedly travelling in a blue Lamborghini as part of an Italian motoring tour last week.

The couple were reportedly driving behind a large white motorhome when a red Ferrari came up behind them at high speed.

Shocking dash cam footage showed the two cars colliding as they tried to overtake at the same time, flipping the motorhome and sending both cars careering off the road.

The red car immediately caught fire, killing Swiss passengers Markus and Melissa Krautli. 

Oberoi, who was allegedly driving the Lamborghini, and Ms Joshi escaped unharmed but were visibly shaken after the crash. 

Ms Joshi, who was pictured sitting on the tarmac following the crash, was reportedly seen sobbing as she stared at the wreckage of their car.

Oberoi meanwhile was seen with his hands on his hips, looking on in disbelief, according to Indian outlet NDTV.

Now, prosecutors in Cagliari have opened an investigation into ‘double road homicide’, meaning her husband could face up to seven years in jail if charged and found guilty.

Ms Joshi, who starred in Bollywood blockbuster Swades, told India’s Free Press Journal: ‘Vikas and I are in Italy. We met with an accident here… With God’s grace, we both are absolutely fine.’ 

Oberoi is believed to be one of India’s richest men.

He owns a large luxury hotel resort chain which operates dozens of locations in India and beyond, as well as seven luxury cruise liners.

The tycoon is also the head of Oberoi Realty, a real estate developer which builds and sells luxury properties in Mumbai. 

Mr and Mrs Krautli, from Wallisellen near Zurich, were confirmed to have been killed in the blazing car.

Mr Krautli worked at the family logistics firm which bore his name and had offices in Belgium, Switzerland and Portugal. 

A couple from Selva di Val Gardena, aged 61 and 62, who were travelling in the motorhome were also injured and taken to hospital. 

‘We were lying sideways in our seats. For a moment we were silent in disbelief. Then I looked into my wife’s eyes and asked her if she was okay. She nodded,’ Lorenzo M, who was sitting in the RV, told Italian news outlet L’Unione Sarda. 

The couple crawled out from between the seats and were able to escape the vehicle.

‘When we came out we thought we were in hell,’ he added. 

The Ferrari was on fire and screams could be heard from across the road, Bild reports.

In the video, the blue Lamborghini Huracan is shown heavily damaged at the side of the road surrounded by a cloud of dust and smoke, with the campervan blocking both lanes.

Another video of the aftermath shows some of the sports cars that were not involved in the collision parked at the roadside. 

There are people gathered beside the ruined Lamborghini and the overturned campervan as black smoke emanates from the flaming Ferrari, with an ambulance crew also present at the scene. 

The remains of the three vehicles have been seized by the authorities as the investigation continues. 

The supercars were driving on the 195 Sulcitana state road in the commune of San Giovanni Suergiu in South Sardinia.

The couple had departed from Forte Village and were heading for Mores, Italian daily newspaper Corriere della Sera reports.

According to Italian media, all occupants of the luxury cars took part in the Sardinia Supercar Experience event, which started in Teulada and was set to finish in Olbia.

Over the course of a few days, the participants drive across the island in Ferraris and Lamborghinis, visit viewpoints and stay overnight in expensive hotels.

If tourists travel in their own car, the trip costs £10,409. A multi-day trip in a rental Ferrari SF90 from the organiser can be booked for £21,515.
