  died when the Winnebago camper van she was travelling in with four other people collided with a maintenance lorry at the M5 near Clevedon, Somerset, Great Britain, on Sunday morning. She died instantly at the scene after sustaining horrific head injuries. Photographer Roberto Porqueddu died later on in hospital. The driver of the van was taken to hospital with serious leg injuries. Two women were treated for cuts, bruises and shock in hospital. They were later released. The party was believed to have been travelling back from a photo-shoot in Cornwall at the time of the accident. Filippa had just started working for the Italian advertising photographer Roberto Sisini a couple of weeks ago and this was her first trip abroad for him. The Princess's husband was not travelling with his wife at the time of the crash. Filippa's mother, Countess Gabriela, told a German newspaper: "Not everyone is as lucky as to have had an angel on earth for 21 years. God lent her to us, now he has taken her back. She was taken from us at the height of her happiness." Prince Alexander zu Sayn-Wittgenstein-Sayn, father of Filippa, travelled to England to formally identify his daughter and to take her body home. On October 12th there will be a mass in the Abbey Church of Bendorf-Sayn, the same place where she married last June.
