Any sports car collector would be devastated to see their
prized Ferrari in a wreck, but that was the fate that befell not just one but
four owners of the vehicles after a spectacular pile up on a French country
road at the weekend.
The four Ferraris were all travelling in convoy and had just
passed a notorious speed camera called the “The White Cross”, where the speed
limit is 70 km/h.
According to initial reports, the lead car was taken by
surprise by a sign indicating there were some works ahead on the road and a
speed bump had been installed.
The driver is believed to have slammed his foot on the
brakes too sharply, causing the cars behind him to pile up, one after another,
in a concertina effect.
Firefighters were called to help rescue three of the drivers
who were trapped in their cars. They suffered no serious injury but were shaken
up by the incident.
The Millau road was closed for two hours as debris was
cleared up and the mashed up vehicles were towed away.
