Remarkable images posted online show how the £1million car was being taken for a test drive on the A5 near Markyate, north of London, before losing control and overturning after smashing into a lamp post. There are only 75 Ferrari F40s in the UK and the F40PRX is famous for its registration plate.
In one of the pictures, the entire front end of the vehicle has been dislocated, showing the front wheels, suspension, and luggage compartment. There is also a pole lying on the ground nearby, which might explain how the car ended up on its side. From initial reports, the driver was taken to hospital after colliding with a lamp post.
According to police, the crash happened on London Road, Markyate, at around 12.50pm and blocked the road, leading to high volumes of traffic.
Emergency services attended the scene, and the driver required further treatment at hospital. A spokesperson for Hertfordshire police added: "It is reported that a red Ferrari had collided with a lamp post. The driver has been taken to hospital for treatment, and the vehicle has been recovered."
Ferrari enthuasists took to Reddit to comment on the shocking images. One said: "Damn, that’s a bad day at work" and another added: This is the 2nd time I seen a Ferrari F40 being wrecked while a service tech was driving it."
