OMG! Crash Japan £££ - 6th Dec 2011 10:50am
Massive Japanese crash claims eight Ferraris, three Benzes, and a Lamborghini
A
single miscalculation from a Ferrari driver earlier today in Japan led
to a chain reaction that ultimately wrecked or destroyed 14 vehicles
including eight Ferraris, three Mercedes, a Lamborghini, a Skyline, and a
Prius that was in the right place at the wrong time.
A group of foreign car enthusiasts were heading to Hiroshima from
Kyushu when one of the drivers lost control trying to overtake a car on a
wet, curved part of China Road in Yamaguchi Prefecture. The Ferrari
driver reportedly hit the median and created a reaction that caused the
other cars in the lineup to crash, according to Japanese media (translated).
No one was seriously hurt in the crash, but the vehicular carnage is
severe. Video from the Japanese TV report above, as well as photos from Twitter and other news sites shows a trail of expensive Italian metal dotted with Japanese and German cars.
It's slightly difficult to tell from pictures, but the Ferraris
involved appear to include multiple F355s, F430s (including a Scuderia),
an F360, and some form of F512.Other cars include the aforementioned Mercedes-Benz products
(including a CL600-ish type vehicle), a car described as a Lamborghini
Diablo, a Nissan Skyline, and one Toyota Prius.
The accident shut down the road for six hours as cleanup crews tried
to untangle the mess.
