Ferrari 360 Modena Almost Sliced In Half
October 29, 2008
There’s a fine line that distinguishes the neighborhood street and the race track. And the one obvious thing is that the neighborhood street is meant for regular driving while the race track is meant for really fast driving. Not the other way around. Unfortunately, the two guys who happened to be in a Ferrari 360 Modena, didn’t know any better and decided to use the neighborhood street as their own personal race track. Well, the image above gives you an idea as to what can happen when you do something crazy like that.
The accident, which looks really fatal, occurred in Walkerville, Australia. According to reports given by witnesses, the vehicle was speeding down at Walkerville Tce at around 11:30am. The sports car then made a right at Landsdowne Road before hitting a pole, which sliced its front end in half. Witnesses say that the driver may have been going at around 150 km/h since all they heard were the sounds of “zing, zing” as the car sped by prior to the collision.
Upon crashing into the pole, one of the residents, Wild at Art manager Lana Errey, immediately rushed to the vehicle to lend a helping hand. She said that upon seeing the men alive and barely unscathed, she placed her hands on the driver’s shoulder and said a prayer for him and his passenger.
Both the driver and passenger of the Ferrari 360 Modena were taken immediately to the Royal Adelaide Hospital after they were extracted from the damaged car. And even though the crash looks disastrous, both of them were able to escape with only minor injuries. As of press time, the authorities are still looking into the possible angles of what may have caused the car to crash. It’s still uncertain whether they will also file charges.
So, in case you happen to own a really fast car, don’t think that just because it can be driven at high speeds, it’s an excuse for you to start speeding down a city street. Because if you do decide to do just that, be warned. Something like this could eventually happen to you.
