This was the scene this morning after a Ferrari crashed into a pillar because of black ice on a Cardiff street.

The Ferrari 458 Italia, which has a starting price of £170,000, crashed on Llandennis Avenue, Roath Park, at around 7.20am.

South Wales Police said that conditions on the street were very icy at the time of the crash and another car, a Vauxhall Insignia, was involved in a separate crash on the same road just minutes later.

Luckily no-one was injured in either of the accidents.

A spokesman for South Wales Police said that the person who reported the crash said they were having difficulty walking on the road because it was so icy.

Black ice has been a major problem across Wales, with the park and ride in east Cardiff closed because it was too icy.

A Cardiff Council spokesman said: “Our number one priority in terms of winter maintenance is treating the strategic network of ‘main roads’ of the City where the highest volume of traffic is experienced.

"A list of roads that will be pre-salted is available on our website. Residents are advised to exercise extreme caution during icy conditions and for further information on footway salting and salt container locations please visit www.cardiff.gov.uk/winterweather.”
