Indian billionaire Vikas Oberoi is being blamed for a horrifying supercar crash on an Italian island. Two Swiss citizens inside a Ferrari were killed during an organized supercar rally held in Sardinia when their car collided with Oberoi’s Lamborghini, causing it to flip and catch on fire.

You can see the vehicle with the dashcam get overtaken by several supercars, which then ride behind a white camper before they one by one pass it as well. When Oberoi starts moving into the opposing lane to also pass the camper, a red Ferrari Portofino comes zipping up in the opposing lane and it appears Oberoi doesn’t see it.
That’s when the Ferrari makes contact with the Lamborghini, sending the latter into the side of the camper, which in turn flipped onto its side. The Lambo came to a rest on the side of the road.
The Telegraph says the people in the camper, who are from a German-speaking region of northern Italy, were injured and taken to the hospital. Oberoi and his wife were uninjured.
If you note, the portion of the road where the accident happened features a solid white line, meaning passing is strictly forbidden. That didn’t stop others from engaging in the risky maneuver, although they escaped without consequence.
Initially, Oberoi was barred from leaving Italy while he was blamed for the crash and an investigation conducted. Authorities weighed charging him for a double homicide. However, VN Express International has confirmed he was cleared of wrongdoing and has since returned to India.
We’ve included some rather interesting vertical dashcam footage of the accident so you can see for yourself what happened. Hopefully the footage wasn’t recorded by a supercar driver because one would hope someone with that kind of money could afford a proper dashcam setup.
Oberoi is married to famous Bollywood actress and model Gayatri Joshi, who was riding in the Lamborghini’s passenger seat. They have two children. He has generated considerable wealth in the real estate market, becoming one of the richest men in India today.
