A woman who arrived the airport late and missed the Air France flight A 447 from Rio de Janeiro to Paris on May 31, was killed in a fatal car crash on her way home with her husband days after the disastrous air accident, Italian media reported.

According to an Italian newspaper, Johanna Ganthaler, a German citizen of Italian descendent, showed up late at the airport and missed the Air France flight A 447. All passengers onboard that plane were killed after the plane crashed into Atlantic off Brazil’s coast four hours after takeoff in a severe storm.

On their way back to Europe after vacation via Munich, Germany, the couple decided to rent a car and drive back home in Italy's Bolzano-Bozen province. On June 9, Jahanna Ganthaler was killed and her husband seriously injured when the couple's car lost control and veered across a road in Kufstein, Austria, and crashed with an oncoming truck.
