Ferrari Convertible Portofino
Meets Disastrous End in San Francisco Bay Area Mudslide
$210,000 Supercar Succumbs to Mud in Shocking Accident
A Ferrari Portofino, valued at $210,000, was left stranded in the mud after a shocking accident in the San Francisco Bay Area. The driver, who was reportedly under the influence, lost control of the vehicle on Seminary Drive, causing it to veer off the road. The car went over a curb, down a grassy knoll, and ended up deeply embedded in mud.
No Injuries, But Serious Damage to the Ferrari
Fortunately, no one was injured in the incident, but the car suffered catastrophic damage. The Portofino’s front left side was severely damaged, with the wheel and hub nearly detached from the vehicle. The rear wheel was also broken, and several exterior panels were destroyed, leaving the car beyond repair. The vehicle was ultimately deemed a total loss and will be scrapped for parts. Car enthusiasts have expressed disappointment over the fate of such a luxurious sports car.
Social Media Buzz Over the Incident
The California Highway Patrol shared a video of the accident scene on Instagram, featuring a humorous soundtrack by R. Kelly (“I Believe I Can Fly”). While the officer’s humor garnered attention, the driver was far from amused. The video showed the driver in handcuffs, preparing to be taken into custody, while a tow truck worked to remove the Ferrari from the mud.
A Reminder About the Dangers of Drunk Driving
This incident serves as another sobering reminder about the dangers of drunk driving. Ferrari vehicles are designed for performance on the road, not for navigating muddy terrain. The driver’s poor decision led to the unfortunate demise of a high-end luxury car. It’s a stark reminder that a sports car, no matter how powerful, is only as good as the road it’s driven on—and the responsibility of the person behind the wheel.
