Cars, like their owners, are very different. Very often both get into accidents. Not all, of course, but this happens. Various accidents with ordinary cars will definitely not interest you, so we offer you a small overview about the most expensive car accidents in the world.
Monaco
This small kingdom is literally filled to the brim with expensive cars and wealthy drivers. However, everyone was put in a belt by the daughter of the chairman of the employment service in Ukraine, Galitsky. It is not known where the 24-year-old girl got such a car from - or someone's expensive gift for her daughter, or Margarita Smelyanskaya-Galitskaya made some successful bets in Monte Carlo. The accident, which Margo arranged in 2011, is still remembered in the kingdom.
Most likely, the fair-haired representative of the weaker sex mixed up the two pedals located in the floor of the Bentley car, the cost of which before the accident was 500 thousand dollars. As a result of a fatal mistake (or because of an assertive character), Margarita was able to combine an impressive set of incompatible objects into a single whole:
- "Bentley" (which was driving Margarita);
- Aston Martin
- Mercedes
- Ferrari
- Porsche.
We must pay tribute to the girl - between a crowd of people and expensive cars, she chose the second. The insurance company that dealt with this case subsequently confirmed the technical problems of the car, because of which the girl became famous throughout the world. As a result, the most expensive accident in the world did no harm to anyone (except the insurance company) and confirmed that women are much more humane and kinder than they sometimes seem.
USA California
Another accident, which entered the top 10 most expensive accidents in the world, occurred in the United States. Shortly before the accident, a car was bought at auction in England for $ 10 million. While walking along the California coast on his Ferrari 250 GT Spyder, the owner very poorly parked near one of the beaches. While the owner of the luxury car went about his business, a short hurricane flew along the coast, during which one of the most expensive cars in the world was badly damaged.
Japan
The land of the rising sun has also become the place where there was another most expensive accident in the world. Driving along the motorway at high speed, the drivers of Lamborghini, eight Ferrari and three Mercedes cars were so carried away by rivalry that they forgot about the usual motorists around them, moving along the autobahn in the same direction. A large truck in front forced the race leader to press the brake pedal, which was unusual for him.
Collisions with the truck were avoided, but the millionaire friends, not having time to react and brake in time, used each other's cars for emergency braking.
As a result of a group accident of expensive cars with a total value of more than 5.5 million pounds, highway traffic was paralyzed for several hours. The most important thing in this story is that, despite large losses for insurance companies, people who were driving expensive cars were not badly injured.
England
A tragedy ended in a walk on the Ferrari 250 GTO for its British owner. The car was bought at auction for a record amount of 28 and a half million dollars. While driving on a busy highway, the driver did not calculate the speed and flew at high speed into a car moving in the same direction. Today it is the most expensive accident in the world.
The classic race car, released in 1962-1964, is not designed to travel on modern highways.Cars of this class and such a cost are usually located in expensive garages of collectors, they are occasionally taken to exhibitions and shows (and usually this happens not on their own, but in special vans). Why the car owner dared to go on the road that day, remained an unsolved mystery.
Mr. Bean
The famous English comedian Rowan Atkinson is the owner of the McLaren F1 sports car.
Making another walk in a prestigious car, the cost of which amounted to $ 1250000 before the accident, the world famous comedian ran into a tree. The incident occurred in the county of Cambridgeshire, in the small town of Peterborough. Characteristically, this is not the first exclusive car that Atkinson crashed.
Prior to that, on his account there were already several wrecked cars, including Aston Martin.
Hong Kong
A total of 15 Pagani Zonda C 12 S cars have been released in the world. This sports car is capable of speeds of more than 200 miles per hour. In the early morning, the owner was returning from a car race. On the autobahn, the truck did not give way to him, pressing in the right lane, where parked cars stood.
Now the planet has one less Zonda - after the collision, the car could not be restored. This is not the most expensive accident in the world. Although the cost of the collection model Pagani Zonda was 700 thousand pounds.
This is not all the incidents included in the top 10 most expensive accidents in the world. The browser is constantly up to date with events in the automotive environment of elite vehicles, tracking resonant incidents.
Unfortunately, sooner or later, the list of premium cars that were in an accident will certainly replenish. Let's hope that only cars will suffer.
