- A Ferrari driver encounters unexpected wet roads and spins out, hitting bike racks and a concrete barrier.
- The incident highlights the importance of safe driving practices, especially with powerful cars on wet roads.
- While the front of the car appears damaged, the extent of the mechanical damage to the rest remains unclear.
A Ferrari driver found out the hard way that wet roads aren’t as easy to navigate as dry ones. A video from CCTV in England shows the moment when the car loses traction and leaves the road. It smashes into several bike parking racks and a concrete retainer before rolling back onto the road.
The incident occurred on Rose Lane in Norwich on a Sunday afternoon, unexpectedly encountering puddles despite the absence of rain in the forecast. CCTV footage captured the moment when a red Ferrari (from what we can tell, an F430 Spider, though the image quality makes it difficult to confirm) navigates a curve towards Maidstone Road. Suddenly, the rear end loses traction on the two-lane street, causing the Ferrari to veer sharply to the left.

Before the driver can correct the problem, the Italian supercar hops the curb and hits four separate bicycle parking racks. Each folds under the force of the car but a concrete landscaping planter doesn’t.
Instead, bodywork on the Ferrari disintegrates, the airbags deploy, and the whole car appears to bounce back toward the street. Only after it’s gone back across both lanes and onto the opposing curb does the driver get control.
A local report from the Eastern Daily Press said the road closed for a time after the crash. Authorities evidently used some sort of granules to soak up fluids that came from the vehicle. An eyewitness reportedly believed the car was totaled due to the damage.
In reality, it’s very difficult to tell exactly how bad the damage to the Italian sports car truly is. Clearly, the front fender, wheel, bumper, and side skirt all ended up with damage. Is that enough to actually total the vehicle? Possibly, but with the engine at the back of the car, it’s unlikely that serious mechanical damage occurred to the powertrain itself. The fluids that ended up on the road could’ve been coolant or washer fluid.
Regardless, it appears as though at least one person learned this lesson the hard way. With great horsepower comes great responsibility not to blip the throttle too hard in wet conditions.
