Police tell motorists '˜drive to the road and weather conditions' after man has '˜miracle escape' after crashing new £200,000 Ferrari


The driver lost control of the high-performance Ferrari 430 Scuderia before the car “went airborne and burst into flames” in the wet conditions, but walked away with just cuts and bruises.
It went 50 metres down a bank and ended up in a field, where it caught fire and had to be extinguished by firefighters.

“Detecting a sense of damaged pride he then said ‘I’ve only just got it, picked it up an hour ago’.”
They added: “Over the past couple of weeks there has been a number of collisions where driving styles have not reflected the road and weather conditions. Please take more care!”
The supercar was reduced to a twisted wreck following the incident on the M1 in South Yorkshire yesterday afternoon, Thursday.
