Rare Bugatti crashes into trees
A car worth more than £800,000 was involved in a collision with a van before crashing into trees.
The accident occurred in heavy rain on a 40mph section of Renfree Way, Shepperton, Surrey, on Sunday.
The rare Bugatti Veyron collided with a Vauxhall Astra van carrying a pregnant woman, who was taken to hospital as a precaution but later went home.
No one else was hurt but police have reported the Bugatti driver for driving without due care and attention.
Surrey Police said the luxury car was driven by a man who had a male passenger with him.
A man and a woman were travelling in the Astra.
The accident occurred at 1440 GMT and the road was closed until 1630 GMT.
The eight-litre, hand-crafted Veyron has a top speed in excess of 250mph.
The 1,000 horsepower Bugatti can accelerate from 0 to 60mph in 2.5 seconds.
There are apparently only 300 of these cars in the world, 12 of them in Britain.
Pictures here. From what I've read elsewhere the car had been delivered to the owner less than a week prior to the accident - the car has now been taken to France to see whether it will become a write off or not. Still, anyone who's seen this car tested on Top Gear or elsewhere will know that it's a damn fine car he may have totaled.
