S'pore registered Ferrari burns to ashes after crashing into metal barrier in M'sia

A Singapore-registered Ferrari caught fire and burned to ashes after crashing into a metal barrier in Pahang, Malaysia, on May 16.

The 458 Spider was travelling to Cherating, a resort town on the east coast of Malaysia, when the incident occurred at 10:40am, reported Malaysian media New Straits Times and Sin Chew.

Both driver and passenger escaped unharmed.

Car suddenly lost control

Rompin police chief, Superintendent Sharif Shai Sharif Mondoi, said that the driver is a 34-year-old Singaporean who works as an IT engineer.

The passenger was his girlfriend, a 33-year-old from Hong Kong.

The car was reportedly a part of a 13-car convoy of various Ferrari models travelling from Singapore to Cherating.

“The car suddenly lost control and crashed into the guard rail, causing it to be engulfed in flames and burn completely,” said Sharif.

The incident did not involve other vehicles, and the driver was issued a fine for failing to maintain control of the car, resulting in the crash.

The police are investigating the incident under the Road Traffic Act.
