ROME —
An Italian woman who dodged death when she and her husband
narrowly missed Air France Flight 447, was killed in a car accident
just over a week later, Italy’s ANSA news agency reported
Thursday.
Johanna Ganthaler, a pensioner from Bolzano-Bozen province, had
been on holiday in Brazil with her husband Kurt and missed Air
France Flight 447 after turning up late at Rio de Janeiro airport
on May 31.
All 228 people aboard lost their lives after the plane crashed
into the Atlantic four hours into its flight to Paris.
The Ganthalers flew out of the country for Austria on a flight
the day after the jet went missing.
Mrs Ganthaler died when the car in which they were traveling
veered across a road in Kufstein, Austria, and swerved into an
oncoming truck. Her husband was seriously injured, ANSA
reported.
