The wife of Lufthansa airline’s billionaire CEO fatally ran down a babysitter while on vacation in Sardinia — then flew home to Germany while under investigation for vehicular homicide, according to reports.
Vivian Alexandra Spohr, 51 — the wife of CEO Carsten Spohr — was behind the wheel of a BMW X5 on Tuesday afternoon when she struck Gaia Costa, 24, on a pedestrian crosswalk in the upscale Italian resort town of Porto Cervo, according to Corriere News.
Spohr allegedly continued driving until onlookers waved her down...
Spohr was formally identified as being under investigation for involuntary manslaughter — but the mom of two had already flown home to Berlin, Germany, according to the reports.

Dang, it sure pays to be a billionaire CEO!
Indeed. That's why phones are the worst way to take selfies and yet people do it all the time. The front part of the face looks exaggerated whereas the rear tapers off depending on how wide the lens is. ( Best portraits imo are made with a 200mm to 300mm lens )

First class or private jet?
I got hit by a car in a crosswalk two years ago. Broke both legs, the driver left me for dead. It was a freeway on ramp.
Lucky I had my cell phone to call 911. It was 4AM and light traffic, only two cars drove around me while I was laying in the road, waiting for the ambulance.
Hubby fooled around with the babysitter?
