Eight Ferraris, A Lamborghini, and Two Mercedes

TOKYO :  Eight supercar Ferraris among 15 SUVs in $4 million worth pile up in a crumbled heap on the highway of Tokyo on late Sunday. This is Japan’s worst ever-traffic pile up of supercars ranging from Ferrari to Lamborghini.

The expensive crash which is involved over 400 m east-bound side of Chugoku Expressway, the cops are calling a ‘throng of narcissists’. Vehicles included in the crash were eight Ferraris, a Lamborghini, two Mercedes and a host of Toyota Prius- world’s most fuel efficient car.

Even a used Ferrari in Japan can fetch $100,000 or more, meaning the total damage may be $1 million or more. Police declined to comment on the total amount of damage, but said some of the vehicles were beyond repair. NTV quoted the driver of one of the tow trucks brought in to clear the scene as saying it was the most expensive crash site he had ever seen.

As per the reports, 20 supercars were zooming speedily on the wet highway from Kyushu to Hiroshima, when the 60 year-old businessman, a leading driver in Ferrari F430 Scuderia lost control and slid rashly, and in a matter of minute 14 other SUVs piled up as the ‘costliest crash’. The Ferrai F430 Scuderia was a model with a top speed of 320 km per hour. Thankfully no one lost their lives, except only five people were injured as per the police reports. An unidentified male eyewitness said to the TBS network, “A group of cars were racing at 140-160 km per hour. But just then one of them revolved and all the others too ended up in this huge mess.”
