October 11th, 2011 - 5:54 pm ICT by IANSLondon, Oct 11 (IANS) A car costing 170,000 pounds was a wreck barely seconds into its test drive after it smashed into a barrier in Britain.
The McLaren supercar had just left the factory when the driver lost control and collided with a barrier before hitting another vehicle and then careering into bushes, reported The Sun.
A passenger in the car with which it collided said: “It just bounced off into the air and hit us.”
The supercar driver was extricated from the mangled remains and taken to hospital.
