A German influencer died three weeks after colliding head on with an Olympic athelte while cycling during her honeymoon in Italy, according to local media.
Laura Viktoria Härtig crashed into former Olympic skier Peter Runggaldier, 57, on a road near Sella Pass, a mountain gap in Northern Italy, according to Italian outlets Trentino and Il Dolomiti.
Härtig, who was known for sharing her adventures traveling and hiking, cycling and skiing outdoors on Instagram, was 30-years-old at the time of her death on Saturday.
She was resuscitated at the scene by first responders and taken to a local hospital.
Nineteen days later, she died in Germany surrounded by family and friends.
A video posted of Härtig’s wedding captioned “Soulmate for life. 💫🩵✨ 🪢” shows her and her then-fiancé in an idyllic alpine locale reading their vows before friends and family cheered.
Ruggaldier, who represented Italy during the Winter Olympics in 1994 and 1999, said in a statement regarding the accident, “I ask you to respect my moment of pain and my need for confidentiality.”
“My thoughts go out to all the people involved and their families,” the statement continued, adding that “I trust in your sensitivity and please understand that at this time I will not give any interviews or statements.”
