A Jaguar F-Type was recently involved in a serious accident that took place in Durban, South Africa, with the sports car hitting a taxi that was transporting a group of people.
The Jaguar F-Type crashed into a taxi on the N3 road, with the latter flipping over as a result. As you can see in the adjacent image, the F-Type appears to have been wrecked in the crash, but this isn’t even the worst part of the story.

No less than seventeen people were injured in the crash and three were seriously harmed in the unfortunate event, as some of the taxi passengers were sent out of the vehicle during the impact.

Update: According to our reader Andrew M. the story line of this terrible accident was different. It seems that the F-Type was forced to apply the brakes in order to avoid hitting a Mercedes that had stopped in the center lane. The taxi actually rear-ended the Jaguar, sending it into the aforementioned Mercedes, whose driver is to blame for all this.
