£250k Ferrari supercar destroyed after overturning on the Woodhead Pass
Two people were taken to hospital after a Ferrari supercar crashed and flipped over on the Woodhead Pass.
Police were called to the single car collision in Woodhead Road, Tintwistle just before 11.40am yesterday morning (Sunday, June 28).
A yellow Ferrari 488 GTB, estimated to be worth around £250,000, had skidded off the road and landed on its roof.
A spokesperson for Derbyshire Police said: “The driver and a passenger were taken to hospital by ambulance as a precaution, but sustained minor injuries only.”
Officers from High Peak response deemed the incident an ‘expensive trip’ and added it was just one of a number of crashes there over the weekend.
The A628 Woodhead Pass is one of the busiest roads out of Sheffield, linking the city to Manchester though the Peak District.
The road has become notorious for congestion, closures and crashes. Between 2014 and 2018, 169 people were injured in 88 separate collisions on the road.
