Monica Esposito, a 55-year-old woman, has died two months after being struck by a car that drove into a crowd in Modena, Italy. The incident occurred on May 16, when the vehicle, driven by Salim El Koudri, injured eight people. Esposito had been in intensive care at the Maggiore Hospital in Bologna since the attack.

In the weeks following the incident, Esposito was transferred to the Baggiovara Civil Hospital in Modena. Despite all possible medical and surgical interventions, her condition did not improve, and she never regained consciousness. Her condition deteriorated irreversibly, leading to her death.

Respecting Esposito's previously expressed wishes, her family agreed to organ donation.
