The most expensive car crash

It could be the most expensive car crash ever.


This was the scene after 14 luxury cars - including eight Ferraris - were involved in a pricey pile-up in western Japan.

A Lamborghini and two Mercedes were also involved in the smash.

The damage caused to many of the vehicles was thought to be so severe that they will have to be scrapped.

Ten drivers were reportedly taken to hospital after the incident but no-one was seriously hurt.

The accident is understood to have happened after one of the Ferrari drivers lost control on a wet road.

He is thought to have hit the central reservation and rebounded into the path of the oncoming cars.








Japanese TV reports the car crash

The supercars were being driven from Hiroshima to Kyushu along the China Road.

The road had to be closed for six hours while clean-up crews removed the wreckage.

The exact models of cars involved wasn't known, but their combined value could stretch into millions if they were brand new.

A new Ferrari 355, several of which were understood to have been written off in the smash, can cost several hundred thousand pounds.
