A U.S. service member was arrested in Italy for allegedly striking and killing a teenage boy with her car while intoxicated, according to Italian media.
Italian news agency ANSA reported that the fatal incident occurred in the northern town of Porcia on Sunday at around 2:30 a.m. local time.
Bravo, who is stationed at Aviano Air Base, less than 10 miles north of Porcia, was allegedly driving back after a night out when she lost control of her vehicle at a roundabout and hit Zanier, who was walking home with two friends on a cycling path near the road. Zanier died but his friends were not injured, according to ANSA, citing Italian police.
When asked for comment, a spokesperson for the U.S. Air Force told ABC News on Monday: "We can confirm there was a vehicle incident involving an Airman from Aviano Air Base. The Air Force is cooperating with local authorities on the investigation." ANSA reported that an Italian judge is expected to decide this week whether the case will be prosecuted in Italy or in the U.S.
