For those of you too lazy to click the link, this pretty much says it all... Police and video reports say the wreck began when a 60-year-old businessman from Fukushima driving a Ferrari F430 attempted to pass a Toyota Prius, but instead hit the guardrail. That set off a chain reaction among the cars driving in a tight formation behind the lead Ferrari, eventually wrapping up seven other Ferraris — namely a 360 Modena, F355 and a white Testarossa — along with a Lamborghini Diablo and a couple of high-end Mercedes. The Prius sustained some rear bumper damage, but escaped relatively unharmed.
Hmmm... we've already got a at least two other threads on this. http://priuschat.com/forums/prius-hybrid-ev-alt-fuel-news/100926-most-expensive-crash.html http://priuschat.com/forums/freds-house-pancakes/100936-smashing-prius-news-in-japan.html
