Eight Ferraris, three Mercedes-Benzes and a Lamborghini were involved in a 14-vehicle pileup on a Japanese freeway Sunday that could easily cost more than $1 million, the Daily Yomiuri reports.
Most of the luxury cars were traveling in convoy to a gathering of sportscar enthusiasts in nearby Hiroshima, the Associated Press reports. The AP says the damage could easily top $1 million in a country where even a used Ferraris can fetch $100,000.The Japanese media puts the bill as high as $3.8 million, AFP reports. Ten people were hospitalized in the mid-morning pileup on the Chugoku Expressway in Yamaguchi Prefecture, according to police. Most were luxury cars were driving together, while one of the Mercedes was traveling in an oncoming lane. Police say they believe that one of the Ferraris tried to change lanes and hit the median barrier, spun across the freeway. The other cars collided while trying to avoid hitting the first car, the newspaper says.
