The driver died in a fire that broke out after the impact, and the passenger died later at the hospital after being thrown from the car. The cause of the accident is still under investigation, but video from witnesses shows the vehicle – a 2026 Ferrari 296 GTS driven by Zampella – leaving a tunnel just before the crash.
