Andrea Pininfarina, 51, dies in motorcycle accident

Very sad news to the automotive world: Andrea Pininfarina, grandson of the founder of the famous Italian desing studio and its current CEO, died today in a motorcycle accident while riding to work, in Cambiano, near Turin.



Pininfarina is currently on a financial restructuring to try to revert the consecutive two years of losses and get back to a profitable operation. The company's website, which will probably bring the name of the new CEO, is out of the air. Married, Andrea leaves three children. Our sympathies to the family.
