What happened to Adrienne Vaughan, her husband and kids?
Adrienne Vaughan was killed in the horror speedboat crash while onboard with her husband and two children after she meticulously planned her dream trip to Italy.
At around 6.30pm, their seven metre pleasure boat collided with a 130ft 45 metre Tortuga ship filled with 85 people celebrating a wedding near to Fiordo di Furore.
American and German holidaymakers were in the middle of the wedding banquet when the tragedy occurred, local media claimed.
Her husband was also thrown from the boat and reportedly suffered serious limb injuries, including a dislocated shoulder and lacerated wounds.
Fortunately, the children were unharmed but they needed therapy for shock. They are kept in a tourist facility in Sant’Agata dei due to Goldi, where the family had been staying while vacationing in Europe. A few days ago, the family was enjoying their summer break in Rome and posted several pictures of them in front of the Trevi Fountain and Colosseum.
The boat’s skipper was also injured and taken to hospital in Castiglione di Ravello along with Mike, where he was operated.
According to one witness, Pietro Luzzolino, the skipper of the speedboat was ‘vomiting’ and ‘gave the impression he was drunk.’ Furthermore, as per Italian media outlets Ansa and Italy24, the 30-year-old man also failed his toxicology tests.
Vaughan played a crucial role in several top projects, including titles such as the Harry Potter series. She previously worked for the Disney Publishing group from 2015 to 2018. According to her former colleague, she was a ‘charismatic true leader’. The post shared on LinkedIn added, “She was my coach and my mentor. I loved working with her every day. It was always ready to help others.”
