Massive crash claims eight Ferraris, three Benzes, and a Lamborghini
A single miscalculation from a Ferrari driver earlier today in Japan led to a chain reaction that ultimately wrecked or destroyed 14 vehicles including eight Ferraris, three Mercedes, a Lamborghini, a Skyline, and a Prius that was in the right place at the wrong time.A group of foreign car enthusiasts were heading to Hiroshima from Kyushu when one of the drivers lost control trying to overtake a car on a wet, curved part of China Road in Yamaguchi Prefecture. The Ferrari driver reportedly hit the median and created a reaction that caused the other cars in the lineup to crash, according to Japanese media (translated).
No one was seriously hurt in the crash, but the vehicular carnage is severe. Video from the Japanese TV report above, as well as photos from Twitter and other news sites shows a trail of expensive Italian metal dotted with Japanese and German cars.
It's slightly difficult to tell from pictures, but the Ferraris involved appear to include multiple F355s, F430s (including a Scuderia), an F360, and some form of F512.

Other cars include the aforementioned Mercedes-Benz products (including a CL600-ish type vehicle), a car described as a Lamborghini Diablo, a Nissan Skyline, and one Toyota Prius.The accident shut down the road for six hours as cleanup crews tried to untangle the mess.

The Prius was probably bump drafting and honking the horn to pass! 
...or maybe he got caught mid-pack of some people who have the ability
to acquire a fast car, but have not yet acquired the ability to seriously
DRIVE it. Anybody can stab it and steer it in a straight line, but it takes
a little time to transition from driving a Buick into driving a Ferrari.
A general rule: If you can't afford to write it off the first time you
drive it on the street, don't get it to start with.
----------------------------------------
Sometime back I showed up as the only Honda in a field of muscle cars
for a Sunday afternoon "tour". They knew me and didn't ask me to leave
and I didn't make excuses to chicken out of the trip. MiGosh! That
was one heck of a day! I was having a good time catching them in the
turns and they were having a good time hitting (undisclosed speeds)
on the straights. If one of them had had a miscalculation as the Ferrari
Driver did, you could have bought a muscle car for scrap metal prices.
That was the last one of THOSE tours and some of those guys probably
still have their finger prints in the steering wheel.-Bob

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

Yes it was. It may be worth pointing out that I received a sealed invitation
to the tour and you did not.
Since you don't know me, didn't ride with me or know anything about the
capabilities of my humble 80's car, it's possible you may be making some
incorrect assumptions.-Bob
