14 Car Pile-up Including 8 Ferraris!
Came across this article about a 14 car pile-up that happened in Japan a couple of years ago. Could be the most expensive crash ever! Read the list of cars involved...
In an unusual accident that took place on Chugoku Expressway in Shimonoseki, southwestern Japan, there was a pile up of a total of 14 vehicles, each of them top end luxury cars. What could be one of the most expensive accidents in history, 8 Ferraris, 3 Mercedes Benz, a Lamborghini Diablo, a Nissan GT-R Skyline and a Toyota Prius were involved in a pile up causing extensive damage. The vehicles were all travelling from Hiroshima to Kyushu when the accident took place.
At 10.15 am on Sunday morning, while all the other vehicles were travelling in one direction it was a Mercedes CL600 that was coming from the opposite direction. Television footage showed cars in wrecked condition with a pile of broken glass, mangled metal and though none of the drivers were injured the expenses on repairs is bound to be astronomical. Repairs to 8 Ferraris, which include F512, F355, F430 and F360 is bound to go upto several thousand pounds while a number of cars will just have to be sold as scrap. While investigations are underway, it was reported that no one was held responsible for the pileup.

Prius driver was more than likely glad that no trees were injured.

I know, right?! Out of all those expensive cars there just had to be a freakin' Prius! Makes you wonder if IT wasn't to blame... Hmmm....

the crash occurred when the lead driver hit a central barrier after losing control of their Ferrari while trying to overtake in wet conditions.

The one that got me was the crash involving an LFA and the passing of Toyota's Chief Test Driver: Hiromu Naruse.
