In an unfortunate twist a fate, a woman who missed the Air France flight that crashed into the Atlantic last week and stole the lives of 228 people has been killed in a car accident.

Johanna Ganthaler was vacationing in Brazil with her husband, Kurt, last month and was scheduled to fly into Paris May 31 on Air France Flight 447.

The Italian couple missed boarding the flight after arriving late to the Rio de Janeiro airport, but managed to pick up a flight from Rio the following day.

Despite their initial good fortune, the two were involved in a car accident, when their car veered across a road in Kufstein, Austria, and swerved into an oncoming truck.

Johanna Ganthaler was killed and her husband was seriously injured in the crash.
