Woman dies instantly after crashing car into tree driving home from night out
A 20-year-old girl died instantly when she crashed her car into a tree while driving home from a night out.
Elisa Scaletti passed away just after 2am on January 15 near her home in Villa di Tirano, Lombardy, in northern Italy.
Her 19-year-old friend, who was in the car with Elisa when she lost control of her vehicle, survived and suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
The crash happened just a day after Elisa's mother Monica celebrated her birthday which Elisa had attended with her older sister Sara and dad Massimiliano.
The girl, who previously studied at the Istituto Tecnico Tecnologico high school in Sondrio and was attending university when she died, was described by local media as a "constantly smiling girl with a sunny spirit which was always there for others."
