The driver of a £200,000 458 Spider had a very unfortunate moment on a UK highway last week.
According to a report from HarlowStar, the incident took place on the M11 highway, between junction 9 of the A11 to Saffron Walden and junction 8 for A120 Bishop’s Stortford.
Besides having an exact location, details on how the accident happened remain unclear, but it’s very likely that the wet asphalt played a role. At least no other vehicles were involved in the collision, which happened around noon.
The crash left severe marks on the front end of the exotic, while damages can be seen on the sides and even the rear. The engine compartment is intact, but that doesn’t mean that the repair bill will be cheap.
