News: Ferraris, Mercedes Benzes and Lamborghini crash in Yamaguchi, Japan

TOKYO (majirox news) — Fourteen cars crashed at 10:15 a.m. on Dec. 4 in Shimonseki, Yamaguchi prefecture, on the Chugoku Expressway.

Eight Ferraris, three Mercedes-Benzes and one Lamborghini were involved in the accident.

Ten people were taken to the hospital and suffered only minor bruises, according to police.

In the first hours after the crash, there was a lot of confusion as to what happened. No details were given; the expressway police are investigating the incident.

However, a 36-year-old man claimed the cars were making loud noises as they passed him by.

Whenever someone wrecks a car, it’s always a sorry situation. What’s even worse is when someone wrecks an exotic car. That’s when the repair costs tend to leave a serious dent in the wallet.

Update: A 60-year-old Ferrari driver, who was leading the group, caused the accident when he lost control on the wet road and hit the center divider, causing a chain reaction that wrecked the 14 vehicles, including seven other Ferraris, three Mercedes-Benzes and a Lamborghini. An oncoming Mercedes-Benz was hit by the debris. The two other cars were Toyotas.

The drivers of the exotic cars were from Kyushu and headed to Hiroshima.
