Ferrari F430 catches fire after accident
Caught on video
This week is turning out to be a bad one for owners of supercars, as a second high priced exotic has burst into flames.
Unlike the McLaren F1 which caught on fire spontaneously in California, this Ferrari F430 went up in smoke after an accident outside of Sibiu, Romania. Although no one was seriously injured in this fierily Ferrari wreck, the car was a total loss.
The accident occurred when the Ferrari's driver lost control and hit two oncoming vehicles which resulted in the F430 winding up in a field where a fire started in the engine compartment. Fortunately none of the other people involved were hurt and the driver and passenger escaped from the Ferrari inferno unharmed as well. However, the driver was ticketed 40 euros for the crash.

lol it takes the firemen 20 minutes to get there and then they sprint to the car as if some persons life depended on it :)

the firemen's truck is not a Lamborghini and if you noticed the accident didn't take place downtown... so if the car was 10 km outside the city how much time do you think will pass until they'll reach the accident place??? and BTW: "then they sprint to the car as if some persons life depended on it" they should've let it burn and maybe explode with all these people around isn't it?... that's a good one

I think you watch too many movies. Cars DO NOT explode. Funny to see all those people watching as if a ufo has landed. BTW, here it doesn´t take firemen 20 min for 10km.

They put it out quickly, it's what they're meant to do. Who wants all that toxic smoke in the atmosphere?

"...However, the driver was ticketed 40 euros for the crash."
I don´t get that. 40€ for an accident with another 2 cars and they let him go?

That's eastern Europe, I have a friend that has been in Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria, rented a car, said that eastern Europe has the worst drivers in the world, it was almost killed by a lunatic with a VW Passat.

he, he... so that means he's never been in Turkey... the true definition of chaos on the road :D

Lol, all the people taking pictures on the side of the road.
I would have been so mad at them if i was the driver.
But I am not, and therefore i ahve a good laugh!

I'm sure the driver was not mad... he's 24 years old and he's the son of some obscure local businessman and the car was a present from his dad... no worry, he will get now most likely a new Aston Martin or a Lambo... that's how the rich parents in Romania punish their rich kids in such occasions... and BTW the 40 euros ticket is because he didn't respected the speed limit and not because he wrecked two other cars...

Getting an Aston or Lambo to replace a crashed Ferrari is no punishment. It's a reward...

why the hell they didnt put the fire off,, dont every car have a fire extinguisher in it? and what a stupid ticket of 40 euros to pay,,, is that enough for such a waste in a supercar accident and human life,,,

This is representative for my country :
- many poor people, but lots of Ferrari, Bentley, etc
- when an accident occurs, people stop, take pictures, laugh, swear and the post their videos on the internet
Translation "Watch for that cow, she almost hit your motorcycle...Make sure you take pictures of that *****ng sunset..."
- about 1 year ago a driver killed a man on a sidewalk driving a Ferrari and guess what : Some corrupted judges released him because "He is not a serious treat, because just one man died".
This is our beloved country. Visit us !

This reminds of the time that I didnt give a rats ass. Wait, it is exactly like that time.

i imagine this guy was some mo`fo` gipsy with his "princess" on his right, boasting: "look baby...how fast my ferrari goes" and in his infinite drivers knowledge he crashed it. then he bribed the authorities, only to receive a 40e ticket. while he should've his liscence confiscated and shot like ceausescu. why didnt they burned along with their beautiful car?

Apparently the horn sticks on an f430 when you crash and the car bursts into flames, That couldn't be good for the life of the battery...

FERRARI HAS SUMTHIN WRONG THERE. the same happened when a 360 hit a tree in india, chennai

This isn't the first Ferrari that burns in Romania and probably not be the last. A Ferrari 612 belonging to a football player suddenly bust into flames on the side of the road, and I mean a HUGE fireball: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScAkjwvwHhE
