Ferrari driver wrecks £200,000 supercar by ploughing into trees 'after accelerator gets stuck'

Car lovers, look away.

These photographs show the trail of destruction left by an out-of-control Ferrari, which ploughed into the front garden of a suburban house.

The driver of the Ferrari 458 Spider, worth around £200,000, said the supercar’s throttle got stuck, causing the vehicle to crash into a bush.

The car knocked down two bollards and was badly damaged during the accident in Bath, Somerset, at 7.40am on Saturday.

The homeowner, who asked to remain anonymous, said: “My husband and son were awake and heard the crash.

“It woke me up and I ran straight down, checked the driver was OK, phoned the police and made the driver a cup of tea.

“The driver said the throttle stuck on and he couldn’t slow down to take the roundabout.

“He lost control and went across the pavement, flattened two bollards that the council put in and went through all my recycling and rubbish – luckily not a person.”

Police attended the scene and the Ferrari 458 Spider was later recovered around 12.30pm.

The woman added: “It’s a main walkway from Batheaston to Bathford. Even at the early time of the crash, there were joggers, people walking dogs, people walking to work.”
