A Taiwanese delivery man crashed his Mitsubishi cargo van into four
parked Ferraris earlier this week, causing over $300,000 worth of
damage.
The driver allegedly fell asleep behind the wheel of his
work vehicle due to exhaustion when he crashed into the Prancing Horses.
The
20-year-old driver was making deliveries at 5:00 am in the morning when
he drifted into a deep sleep around 5:40 am, according to the Taiwan
News.
Every single one of the cars, three different Ferrari 488s
and one F12, were heavily damaged and had to be transported away from
the crash scene by a flatbed truck.
Allegedly, the driver was on his way to his mother’s shop when he hit the cars at approximately 25 miles per hour.
According
to the report, one of the 488s has approximately $130,000 worth of
damages, the other 488 a little over $97,300, and the white,
V-12-powered F12 approximately $162,300 in repair estimates.
Most
of the damages appear to be cosmetic (although the damage wasn’t
exactly minor), with the van pushing the cars into each other and
sideswiping them.
However, it could’ve been worse. Had the driver
managed to total the Ferraris, he would’ve been on the hook for over
1.6 million, according to the Taiwan News.
There’s no damage
estimate on the delivery van, but it does have the most damage and may
possibly be inoperable after hitting the four supercars.
It is however reported that members of the public in Taiwan are already making plans to make donations towards the repair of the expensive cars.
