British driver totals Ferrari an hour after purchase

A British driver has survived a major crash in his Ferrari an hour after he bought it.

Local police called it a "miracle escape", but the car was not so lucky.

F430 Scuderia

South Yorkshire Police posted Twitter photos of the smoking, wrecked car, saying it "went airborne (and) burst into flames" beside a highway in northern England.

The Ferrari 430 Scuderia, worth about £200 000 ($260 000) new, ended up a burning heap in a field.

Police said in a Facebook statement that the driver "only had minor cuts and bruises" after the smash on July 27, but they also detected "a sense of damaged pride".

The force said the driver told officers: "I've only just got it, picked it up an hour ago."

Police urged local drivers to take care on the roads. - Wheels24
