One driver from Phoenix, Arizona learned the hard way the true meaning of the phrase “when it rains, it pours,” when he was sideswiped and crashed into the McLaren dealership in Scottsdale, AZ.
Really, of all the places to crash even unintentionally, a supercar dealership is perhaps the worst. Accidents are bad enough on their own, without adding the thousands of dollars in damages to fancy rides and buildings.
In this particular case, two different McLarens were damaged, with one of them taking so much damage it will probably be a total write-off. Another car was totaled, a black BMW X5, and a fourth involved – though there’s no mention of how badly it was hit.
It all happened on March 6, when, according to the X5 driver, Paul Dubois, he was minding his own business when another driver sideswiped him with enough force as to make him jump the curb, go over the grass and smash into a McLaren 720S parked outside the dealership.
That sounds bad enough, but it wasn’t all. The impact was so forceful it sent the 720S through a glass window, into another McLaren just like it. You can see from the photos in the gallery attached, which have been posted to Mr. Dubois’ Facebook, that the silver McLaren took the brunt of the impact. Its front end is completely smashed from being hit by the X5, while the rear is just as badly damaged from where it went into the building wall.
Behind the silver McLaren, inside the dealership building, sat an orange 720S. It too took a hit, but only came out with scratches to the paint and minor damage to the front end. The photos also show damage to the X5, in the driver’s side door, where it was hit by the other car and the front end, where it smashed into the silver supercar.
Mr. Dubois says that he’s “glad it wasn't my fault or ya boy would be filing bankruptcy in the quickness. Bruhh.” In a later post, he acknowledges those saying he probably caused the crash himself, since there’s no photo of the car that supposedly sideswiped him, but insists they’re in the wrong. He also says he’s in pain and no longer talking about this on social media, as per his attorney’s instructions.
He’s right to clam up until an investigation determines who’s at fault. The cheapest 720S will set you back $300,000 without any option on it, and he had the misfortune of crashing into two of them.
