Newlyweds in Ferrari collision

A bride and groom had a rocky start to married life when they smashed the £130,000 Ferrari they'd hired to drive themselves to their reception.

The couple had cashed out £500 to rent the 180mph Testarossa for an hour so they could arrive at the bash in style at Treviso, northern Italy. A plan that went a little wrong. After going just a few yards in the supercar - which does 0-60 in under six seconds - the groom swerved off the road straight into a traffic light.

"They had to sign over a £20,000 insurance deposit on the car - and they probably won't be getting any change from it," said one police officer told the Mirror.

"Neither of them had been drinking but with a car this powerful a small mistake can become very costly," added the officer.

Insurance experts say that if it is possible to repair the damage caused by the crash, although it could be deemed a write off, it will cost in the region of £60,000. It’s almost certain the newlyweds will lose all of the deposit they handed over for the hire of their luxury wedding car.
