According to the BBC, this twisted pile of smoking metal used to be a new £200,000 ($258,000) Ferrari 430 Scuderia. While cruising down the M1 motorway connecting London to Leeds, the vehicle “went airborne”, zoomed off the M1, and smashed itself to pieces. The driver walked away with “just cuts and bruises.” He had owned the vehicle for one hour.
Another BBC article showed the remains of a £143,000 ($126,700) McLaren 570S and reported that the driver and passenger escaped with “minor injuries.”
Who are these people? How were they able to walk away from a mass of debris that isn’t even recognizable as having once been an automobile? Are they invincible, like superheroes? Were they teleported out of their cars at the last second by a benevolent deity? Or are they just unbelievably lucky? Because if it’s the latter, I want one of them to buy my next lottery ticket. Come on, guys, I’ll split the winnings.
But on second thought, they don’t need me. People that lucky have probably won all the lottery money they can handle – and they used some of it to buy themselves supercars. I hope they bought insurance, too.
