Father and son survive Ferrari F430 crash

[Bartek S.]

It’s difficult to imagine anyone surviving this crash but the two occupants of the Ferrari F430 Spider, a father and his infant son, managed to live through the ordeal without sustaining any life-threatening injuries. The two were actually thrown clear of the car during the accident, which could explain why they weren’t seriously injured.

The accident took place on a stretch of the A58 highway in the Netherlands. Images of the wreck, which turned up on the website of local news source
Brabants Dagblad, show the car was completely wrecked and must have been travelling considerably fast before crashing.
Investigators are yet to release details about how fast the car was going and whether or not the occupants were wearing seatbelts and if the driver’s son had a proper child-seat installed.

Appears to be a case of reckless driving. Unfortunate outcome, but could have been much, much worse.
