Oops! £170,000 Ferrari parked in London square is gouged by lorry tailgate after driver fails to negotiate corner

This unlucky Ferrari owner is going to get a shock when he comes to find an articulated lorry wedged in the side of his car. The crumpled Ferrari 458 Italia - which costs £169,545 new - 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. The driver 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.’
