Woman films herself sitting on a TikTok star’s lap in car moments before crash
A TikToker who killed a mum and daughter in a horror crash posted a haunting video inside his car before the fatal incident.
Agustín López Gagliasso was driving his vehicle at 74mph when a family of four attempted to cross the street in Rosario, Argentina. But the 20-year-old’s car spun out of control, tragically claiming the lives of 41-year-old Tania Gandolfi and her 16-year-old daughter Agustina García.
The woman’s other daughter and her husband suffered serious injuries but are not in critical condition. Gagliasso, who has 30,000 followers on TikTok, was not alone in the car at the time. According to reports, he was with a young woman named Giovanna who, just moments before the accident, had filmed a video of herself sitting on Gagliasso’s lap whilst he sped in the car.
After the accident, she shared an image of her face covered in bruises and said: “I’m not dead by a miracle.” Giovanna claims that the influencer had an argument with a motorcyclist and that he chased them at a high speed. The vehicle spun off of the road and ended up completely destroyed after colliding with the family on the path in Rosario, Argentina.
Gagliasso was charged by prosecutors Mariana Prunotto and Valeria Piazza Iglesias. He is currently under pre-trial detention as he awaits his fate. According to local newspaper Perfil Cordoba, Gagliasso tested positive for alcohol. It is alleged that the Provincial Road Safety Agency of Rosario suspended his driver’s license after analysis found that he had 0.2 grams of alcohol in his blood.
No drugs were found in his system. According to Agencia Noticias Argentinas, the analyses “will remain kept in the laboratory for possible studies if required.” Attorney Carlos Varela, defender of the accused, said he will file an appeal against Judge Paola Aguirre’s ruling.
“We intend that López’s conduct be adjusted to double negligent homicide in a traffic accident. Based on the admission of the qualification proposed by prosecutors Piazza Iglesias and Prunotto (double simple homicide, which has a sentence of eight to 25 years in prison ), we intend that López’s conduct be adjusted to that of double negligent homicide in a traffic accident (which has a sentence of three to six years in prison) and on that basis, discuss the preventive detention that was ordered.”
