South African emergency services responded to a rather unusual accident, involving a Ferrari 458 Italia and a cow, the other night.
When they arrived at the scene, on the N17 highway in South Africa, they found the massive animal’s print embedded into the supercar’s upper end.
Since the images posted by PolicePicsAndClips don’t offer any info on possible injuries suffered by the occupants, we can only hope that they walked away from this horrific crash, one that could have very well transformed this Ferrari 458 Italia into a 458 Spider, and if you think that speed was the main factor that led to this accident, a Facebook comment suggests another explanation.
“The N17 is notorious for cattle wandering onto the road. My nephew hit a cow just before the Leandra toll gate in June and was lucky to get out alive. It is a bit low to blame the Ferrari driver of speeding. If it was any other vehicle, like my nephew’s Mitsubishi Mirage, no snide remarks would be made! The Toll Company should be brought to task for not patrolling and keeping the cattle off the road. It is a national highway with a 120 km/h (75 mph) speed limit after all.“
