The skipper of a rented motorboat involved in a crash off the Amalfi Coast that killed a U.S. tourist is being investigated for suspected manslaughter, a prosecutor in southern Italy said Saturday.
The couple's two young children were uninjured. They're now in the care of one of the their grandfathers who travelled to Italy to help while their father is convalescing, the prosecutor said.
Two doctors who were among the passengers on the sailboat dived into the sea to to help Vaughan, while a nearby vessel brought her to shore, Italian state radio said, quoting the sailboat's captain. The sailboat's captain has told Italian media that the motorboat was speeding when it smashed into the stationary sailboat's bow.
The motorboat had set sail from the town of Amalfi, Borrelli said. According to Italian media, the family was headed to Positano, another popular coastal town when the crash happened.
