Not my pride and joy! Owner of £170,000 Ferrari returns to find tens of thousands of pounds worth of damage caused by lorry which gauged a hole in parked supercar


This unlucky Ferrari owner got a nasty shock when he returned to his prized sports car to find an articulated lorry wedged in the side of the vehicle. Dressed in a navy blue suit, the car's owner was visibly shocked when he discovered his crumpled Ferrari 458 Italia - which costs £169,545 new. The car was pictured today in Kensington, west London, by photographer Robert Kearney. The incident happened on Kensington Square - the oldest garden square in the capital, with an average house value of £8million. I t is believed the owner does not live in the area, but had left his car there, thinking it would be safe until he returned. The driver of the lorry was said to have been shaken but not seriously injured and no arrests were made. A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: 'Police were called at approximately 2pm to Kensington Square to a collision between a lorry and a parked vehicle. The parked vehicle is a red Ferrari and the lorry was a white DAF truck.’
