Just last week I posted an amazing video of the Bugatti Veyron supercar in action and actually taken to its top speed of 253 mph by the guys from Top Gear. Today I bring you the sad news of the very first known Veyron accident. Considering they cost in excess of $1.5 million, you really don’t want to wreck one.

The accident occurred near Surrey in the UK and the driver was reportedly doing approximately 100 mph on a 40 mph stretch of road. The driver of the car was not the owner, but had rented it for nearly $40,000 a day. The owner reported that he had paid $1.8 million for the car, which is more than the list price.

It’s not yet known if the car can be repaired, but a Bugatti spokesman said, “If it can be repaired, it will be quickly and efficiently. The owner will be looking at a substantial bill.” No shit!
