According to reports, the 36-year-old driver was riding in
his Ferrari when for an unknown reason he went off the road and ran down a
70-metre hill before diving into the two-metre deep pond.
The driver apparently escaped from the Ferrari as it was
sinking. He managed to get out unhurt and found a nearby house, where he called
the emergency services. Once firefighters arrived on the scene they managed to
remove the Italian sports car.
Although the Ferrari’s exterior looks surprisingly intact,
the water most likely caused irreparable damage to the interior, electronics
and engine. Incidents like this almost always end up with the vehicle being
written off.
When the F430 first went on sale in Australia back in 2005
prices started at $419,000 for the drop-top Spider, and $385,000 for the coupe.
