Re: Pictures of Automobiles Involved in Accidents

This happened today in Japan and is now called the world's costliest crash.A pileup on the motorway involving 14 Super cars
It is painful to see that for any automobile enthusiasts. Horrible accident, though the title is apt “Ferrari Graveyard” :biggrin:

World's most expensive crash (8 Ferrari, A lambo and a Mercedes

Sad. Very sad. [frustration]

An outing of luxury sportscar enthusiasts in Japan ended in an expensive freeway pileup — smashing a stunning eight Ferraris, a Lamborghini and two Mercedes likely worth more than $1 million together. Police say they believe the accident Sunday was touched off when the driver of one of the Ferraris tried to change lanes and hit the median barrier. He spun across the freeway, and the other cars collided while trying to avoid hitting his car. Video of the crash aired by NTV, a major national network, showed several smashed, bright red Ferraris cluttering the freeway. 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. No one was seriously injured, but police in Yamaguchi prefecture said 10 people were treated for bruises and cuts. Police say 14 cars were involved altogether. The luxury cars were all in one place because they were being driven by a group of automobile enthusiasts on their way to nearby Hiroshima.

They said they were at 150 kmph and all of them came out of crash with minor injury and bruises.

Imagine Indian national cars (e.g.swift) at 150kmph and in such situation!!!

Moral:Safety is expensive(exceptions excluded).

This time one cannot complain about spoiled youth.

They (drivers) were all middle aged and old (aged between 40 to 60)
