Stuge Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Speeding was fingered as a possible cause Monday of what is believed to be Japan's most expensive ever road accident when up to $4 million-worth of supercars ended up in a crumpled heap on a highway. Eight Ferraris and a Lamborghini -- plus a Toyota Prius -- were among the vehicles involved in the crash, which witnesses said happened when a speeding car slid across a wet road surface. Television footage showed mangled Ferraris -- many of them racing red -- and debris spread over some 400 metres (yards) of the east-bound side of the Chugoku Expressway, the main trunk road in southern Honshu. A pack of about 20 supercars was travelling in convoy on Sunday morning on a stretch of wet highway when the leading Ferrari slid into a guardrail, police said. Those behind slammed on their brakes, but for many of them it was apparently too late. "I've never seen such a thing," highway patrol lieutenant Eiichiro Kamitani told AFP by telephone. "Ferraris rarely travel in such large numbers." http://www.hindustantimes.com/world-news/RestOfAsia/4-mn-lost-in-most-expensive-car-crash/Article1-778122.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
