Sudden down pour, greasy roads Ferrari 458 crashed into the guard rail on the Marlow bypass bridge over the A404.

Highway Traffic officers standing over it, but it looks pretty bad.

How do you know something didn't fail on the car causing the accident?

It was a black Ferrari 458.

Was being driven by a friends boss who was 'showing off'. It was apparently on lease from one of these hire car firms where you join via membership.

I do know this junction, he must have driven round it too quickly without the traction control on or something failed.

In fairness, i drive this junction everyday on my commute. I only have a poxy mondeo but even in the wet, the grip can seem very limited as the outside lane is very cut up. Also the corner it appears he lost it on is prone for being a good couple of inches deep in standing water.

Hello Wycombe83, where abouts in town are you from?

Gutted, but as I really really don't like the looks of the 458, it looks better like that getmecoat

yes Regardless of whose fault it was, that's someone's eargely awaited brand new car, which is a great shame, and if it's a write off then it's round to the back of the queue for him now...

fk me, and i thought the stroen c4 was made out of beer cans, but that looks really really bad, like the front end just crumpled. I know they are meant to deform in an accident, but holy crap thats taking the biscuit. If i was ever lucky enough to own something like that, i would take exceptional care of it

No engine there to stop it.
