This led to ‘an accident worth millions’ as the two vehicles collided. The Porsche also crashed with the leading Mercedes and the Bugatti collided with the motor home that was driving ahead, reports NDTV. While all the 3 luxury cars were damaged, the Porsche bore the most brunt. The grille, front bumper, and hood of the Bugatti were also busted.
Several private towing services pressed into action, to take away the damaged cars. In case you are wondering how expensive was the crash – According to Daily Mail, the total damage was around 3.7million francs (Approx. Rs 30 crores). However, apart from the damages to the cars, the passenger in the Mercedes suffered considerable injuries too, reports the Indian Express.
