The lawyer of Vivian Alexandra Sphor, the wife of Lufthansa CEO Carsten Sphor, issued a statement on the fatal crash in which a 24-year-old babysitter was killed when Vivian was behind the wheel. The accident took place in Italy’s Sardinia, where Vivian went for a vacation. Angelo Merlini, the lawyer, said there are many rubbish claims going around the mishap that Spohr was driving at a very high speed and she did not even understand that she killed a Gaia Costa, the 24-year-old woman, and when she realized, she fled the spot. The lawyers said she did not flee the scene and actually gave first aid to the 24-year-old who was crossing the road through a zebra crossing. Reports said Costa even raised her arm to stop the BMW which hit her but Sphor’s lawyers said the case struck the woman at a very low speed. “Contrary to what was previously reported, Vivian Spohr stopped after the accident and provided first aid to the girl. However, after an initial attempt at resuscitation, Vivian Spohr lost consciousness and fainted,” the lawyer said, as reported by The Sun. Merlini added that Spohr struck the woman at a “very low speed” with her car, which has an automatic transmission and is very heavy.Sphor, who apparently fainted after realizing that she ran over a woman, however, travelled back to Munich, though she is under investigation as she was not legally required to remain on the island. Her lawyers said she expressed her dismay and deep regret over the accident. “She has placed herself at the complete disposal of the judicial authorities for the necessary investigations and, although aware that such a great personal loss cannot be remedied, will take steps to mitigate the consequences.”Sphor took an alcohol and drug test after the crash and both came back negative.
