Some supercar accidents are more ridiculous than others and the one we're here to show you belongs to the camp that could've easily been avoided.
However, in order for the Ferrari F430 not to plow into the Lamborghini Gallardo in the ridiculous manner that can be seen via the piece of footage at the bottom of the page, a number of conditions had to be met.

You know, common sense guidelines that should be used during any supercar event such as the one that led to this accident.

For starters, the Sant'Agata Bolognese machine shouldn't have been parked in the middle of the open space (at least this is the apparent position of the Raging Bull).

As for the Prancing Horse, if we judge by the way the V8 Fezza seemed to hydroplane, its tires were anything but fit for a soaking wet surface such as the one seen here.

Then there's the behavior of the guy behind the wheel, which, according to Redditor tanner_saan, who brought this accident to our attention, is a pro. It seems that the Maranello machine driver kept his foot on the brakes instead of using the power to play with the trajectory of the car.

And, as if the ka-bang itself wouldn't have been enough, the man filling up the Lambo failed to see the Ferrari coming. This resulted in quite a bit of a spill, one that, despite the rain, could've led to a fire - a spark coming from the crash might've been enough to cause trouble.

We've added a second clip below, one that allows you to check out the damage sustained by the two Italian exotics. And, unfortunately, the impact wasn't all that light, with the only positive side being that nobody got injured in the (we'll say it again) ridiculous accident.
