Juventus interim boss Massimo Carrera is under investigation for his involvement in a fatal car crash which resulted in two deaths, Goal.com reported.

The former defender, along with two others, are being accused of manslaughter for their roles in the collision, and the verdict is expected to be announced on Oct. 9, after he requested an expedited hearing.

The two 23-year-olds that lost their lives were Chiara Varani and Patrizia Paninforni, both of whom were involved in a three car pile-up in the early hours of New Year's Eve last year.

While the occupants of all three cars came out to assess the damage, the Mercedes R-Class driven by Carrera hit the Ford Ka, killing one of the women immediately. The other lost her life later in hospital.

The Juve trainer's legal representatives are claiming that the lights on the highway during the night were faint, making it hard for their client to see the crash that lay ahead of him.

However, the victims' lawyers claim that he still should have seen the car was stationary, which would have meant that he could have avoided the collision completely.

Carrera is currently acting as Juventus' matchday coach after Antonio Conte was handed a 10-month touchline ban for his implication in the Scommessopoli scandal.
