Tourist-death-crash skipper positive in toxicology test

(ANSA) - ROME, AUG 4 - The skipper at the helm of a speed boat involved in a crash on Thursday on the Amalfi Coast in which American publisher Adrienne Vaughan was killed was positive in a toxicology test, sources said on Friday.
    The 45-year-old woman was the president of Bloomsbury USA, which is part of the group that, among other things, publishes the Harry Potter books.
    She was on the chartered speed boat with her husband, who suffered limb injuries in the accident and was taken to Ravello hospital, and her two children, who are reportedly in shock.
    The speed boat collided with a 45-metre sailing ship, which around 80 foreign visitors were on board celebrating a wedding.
    Vaughan reportedly died after being thrown into the water and hit by the boat's propellers.
    The 30-year-old skipper suffered fractured ribs and injured his pelvis in the accident, the sources said. (ANSA).
