A Luxurious Ride Downendered
A stunning Ferrari Portofino met an unfortunate end in Mill Valley, California, after plunging into Richardson Bay.
The incident occurred on Saturday, November 30th, according to a Facebook post by the California Highway Patrol Marin. Sadly, the driver, suspected of being intoxicated, lost control while navigating a bend on Seminary Drive. Thankfully, no other vehicles were involved, and no injuries were reported.
However, the exterior damage to the luxurious vehicle appears significant. Fortunately, anyone in or around the area zoned out with no injuries sustained. No further details are available at this moment, but further investigations may clarify what caused this unusual situation.
An immense portion of the front-end appears to have sustained irreparable damage. Many online, however, found amusement in the car’s predicament, the caption chosen to accompany the incident’s photos. The Highway Patrol added the song “I Believe I Can Fly” as a soundtrack, making light of the situation, potentially downplaying the severity of the incident. In an ensuing tweet, authorities reminded the public to be responsible, saying "We’re grateful no one was seriously injured.
Please remember: choose a sober driver or utilize a rideshare service, don’t drive under the influence.”
While some might find humor in the situation, losing a car as rare and expensive as the Ferrari Portofino is hardly a laughing matter. The incident underscores a poignant message: intoxicating
