A man was left with harmed pride after he smashed his £260,000 supercar – having had it for only a HOUR.
Pictures discharged by South Yorkshire Police catch the remaining parts of a coal black Ferrari 430 Scuderia after it slammed off the side of a motorway and changed into a fireball.
Officers said the Ferrari driver left the street in wet conditions and slid 50 meters over a field before the vehicle burst into blazes close Barnsley, South Yorks.
At the scene officers uncovered the driver, who made due with cuts and wounds, said ‘it was a Ferrari’ with ‘a clue of harmed pride’ – before saying he ‘just had it 60 minutes’.
Police workplaces lifted the top on the motivation behind why drivers were stuck on at Junction 37 of the M1 prior today in the wake of posting two photos of the destruction on Facebook.
South Yorkshire Police Operational Support posted:
‘Afternoon folks, were you stuck in traffic this afternoon on the M1 south around junction 37? If so, here’s why.
‘Officers were deployed to a single vehicle collision with reports that the vehicle had left the carriageway and burst in to flames.
‘Road conditions were wet at the time and as officers arrived on scene it became clear there was a vehicle well alight.‘Colleagues from South Yorkshire Fire & Rescue were in attendance squirting water all over some kind of sporty motor some 50 or so meters down a banking.
‘As we are an inquisitive bunch, we found the driver and were amazed to see he only had minor cuts and bruises!
‘Officers asked the driver what sort of car he ‘had’ to which he replied “it was a Ferrari”.‘Detecting a sense of damaged pride he then said: “I’ve only just got it, picked it up an hour ago”.
‘The serious part of this post: Over the past couple of weeks there has been a number of collisions where driving styles have not reflected the road & weather conditions – please take more care.
‘Ps. Here’s a couple of pictures of the previously mentioned sporty motor – for those who aren’t very knowledgeable on cars, it was a Ferrari 430 Scuderia.’
