The British couple killed after his Ferrari fell against the river in Spain

A British couple at the age of 78 and 58 died in Spain when his Ferrari decreased from a mountain road and fell into a river. The accident occurred on Saturday, May 10, at 2 p.m., while they were part of a 20-car convoy of Ferrari drivers with British plates. Accordingly metroThe authorities took hours to reach the ruins of the black Ferrari 488 of the couple, a 300,000 pound super sports car, which was partly immersed in the Yuso river.

Remarkably, the couple traveled in a rally with about 20 other Ferrari owners with British license plates. They had arrived in Leon the day before the tragic crash. The couple navigated the picturesque and yet N-621 Mountain Road asked when her black Ferrari stopped around 2 p.m. The car turned and landed upside down in the Yuso River.

The highway is known for its breathtaking backdrop, but the drivers are warned that they have to navigate “extensive bends” and “Tuny Roads”.

Disturbing images showed the damaged vehicle partly under water in the river, with a Sunhat still resting on one of the seats. The car had overturned, landed on his roof in the river and was freaked back during the operation of firefighters. Rescue workers told how they had to chop through thick river plants before they reached the car.

It remains uncertain whether the couple drowned or died because injuries were suffered in the crash.

A local said: “A Ferrari 488 with 700 hp must be treated carefully. It seems that the couple was 78 and 58 years old. Perhaps the driver suffered a medical emergency. Such a sad way of losing their life.”

The Ferrari 488 GT Modificata is a special edition that can travel up to 60 km / h in just under three seconds.
