A driver lost control of his new \u00a3200,000 Ferrari and careered off a motorway before it burst into flames – after owning it for just an hour.<\/p>\n
The high-performance Ferrari 430 Scuderia was reduced to a twisted wreck after the smash on the M1 near junction 37 in South Yorkshire on Thursday afternoon.<\/p>\n
Police described how the car “went airborne” in the wet conditions.<\/p>\n
The driver walked away with just cuts and bruises.<\/p>\n
The car went 50 metres down a bank and ended up in a field, where it turned into a fireball and had to be extinguished by firefighters.<\/p>\n
In a statement on Facebook, South Yorkshire Police said: “Officers asked the driver what sort of car he ‘had’ to which he replied ‘it was a Ferrari’.<\/p>\n
“Detecting a sense of damaged pride he then said ‘I’ve only just got it, picked it up an hour ago’.”<\/p>\n
The force urged drivers to take care on the roads.<\/p>\n
“Over the past couple of weeks there has been a number of collisions where driving styles have not reflected the road and weather conditions. Please take more care.”<\/p>\n
