Ferrari California had an incident with a Ford Transit, that ended up on an Audi A6...

Photos are a bit low rent as screengrabbed off a video.

Owner of the pub, 50 yards before the accident scene, reckons the Ferrari was doing at least 100mph. It's a 30 limit there.

Doesn't seem enough destruction for that kind of speed but likely well over the limit, he's punted that van quite a distance.

People hear a loud car and just guess.

From the Facebook groups, the van was coming out of Costa and was stationary. If the car was going 100 mph, there wouldn't be much left of the car or the van.

It is almost impossible to tell from the pictures what happened. It was reported that the Ferrerri was travelling up from Bagshot, but the pub owner said it went past them. All a bit confusing as always.

Another car was also involved, smashed up on the other side of the bus.

Either way, it doesn't look like a 30 mph bump.

Lol, I know that piece of road very well. On a clear day in day conditions that Ferrari could do 100mph past there but on Sunday afternoon traffic in wet conditions? Not a chance. Classic 'Ferrari crashes, must have been the driver's fault, must have been speeding'

In the Whatsapp video from my of my wife's network, where they do a drive by the scene. It gives the impression they were overtaken by the Ferrari as they drove down past Pennyhill Park.

Must have been going some to punt the transit off the road, over the pavement and on top of the Audi....

You're not the I my one who knows that road. At the top of the hill by American Golf you have the traffic lights. Whose to say this tt didn't win the traffic light GP and floor it from there. Or came out of Pennyhill Park ahead of traffic and do the same.

Either way, he was doing well over 30 to punt that van onto the roof of the Audi.

You think the road was clear from there to that point and it went over the left hand crested bend at 80mph+ on Sunday afternoon? Not a chance.

That said, it LOOKS like he was travelling quite quickly but we really don't know.

The Ferrari went past my house at some speed, overtaking a bus just before the Foresters Arms pub.

Blimey, I think he is going to be in trouble.

I was stuck at those lights a few days ago, it looks like the house has some massive cracks up the walls frown

Stupid place to overtake, there's a pedestrian island just round that corner too. If the bus had created a gap in front it is possible that the Ferrari could have been traveling quite rapidly (not sure '100mph' though!)
