Van Driver Attempts To Film A Zonda... Then Crashes Straight Into It

There’s little excuse for carelessly rear-ending another car at the best of times, but when the car you hit is an ultra-rare Pagani Zonda F, that’s just smashing.

It’s fairly normal to want to film a supercar that strays across your path. But, as these videos show, it’s probably best not to if you’re driving. The man piloting a van behind the Zonda is trying to capture video of the stunning supercar on his phone instead of looking at the traffic backing up ahead of him. Big mistake.

The Zonda brakes sharply and the van has nowhere to go. Cue locked wheels, tyre squeal and the sickening, tear-jerking crunch you get when a heavy commercial vehicle slams into wildly expensive carbonfibre panels and exotic metalwork.

We don’t see the actual impact in the videos, but we do get two different angles on the run-up to it, and there are a couple of pictures of the damage. Lie down, try not to cry, etc.

Correction: It is of course the passenger filming, rather than the driver. But that doesn’t make this video any less tragically funny…
