Ferrari 12Cilindri Destroyed in Germany Crash

Serious accident in Germany on the A3 motorway near Wachenroth, Bavaria. A Ferrari 12Cilindri was completely destroyed after a violent crash involving a Polestar and a truck.

According to the police, the incident started when the Polestar attempted to overtake, moving from the central lane to the overtaking lane to pass the truck ahead. At that moment, the Ferrari approached at high speed and, despite braking, could not avoid the crash.

The impact was devastating. The Ferrari, driven by a 53-year-old man, struck both the Polestar and the truck, even causing the latter to overturn.

Fortunately, none of the vehicle drivers suffered serious injuries. Only a passenger in the Polestar sustained minor wounds. Some vehicles in the opposite lanes were hit by debris from the collision, but no further accidents occurred.

During the rescue operations and road clearance, Bavaria police reported 65 motorists as being “too curious. They slowed down, created traffic jams, and filmed the scene with their phones, obstructing the emergency efforts.
