A Ferrari sports car worth over NIS 3 million was smashed up on Sunday in a car accident on Route 6.

Three people were lightly wounded in the fender-bender, which left the 812 Superfast badly damaged.

Footage from another vehicle’s dashboard camera shows the vehicle trying to swerve behind a truck, at which point it appears to have been hit by another car driving close to it.

Witnesses of the incident told Channel 12 news that the accident was the result of an apparent illegal race by the Ferrari driver.

Three injured persons, the driver among them, refused to identify themselves to medics who arrived at the scene of the crash.

All took themselves independently to a local hospital.

The Ferrari 812 Superfast, first unveiled by the Italian firm in 2017, has about 800 horsepower, is capable of accelerating to 100 km/h (62 mph) in less than three seconds and is able to reach a top speed of about 340 km/h.
