Every time a Ferrari is involved in an accident, the pain it causes in the soul of every iron worker is greater than usual. Generally, these events are generated by the negligence of their owners, as happened years ago with a 458 on a racetrack, and also with three! Cavallino units (one 488 GTB, 488 Pista and 458) on public roads.
This time, the accident was not responsible for any driver or driver. It was the failure of an elevator that caused a Ferrari Roma to suffer significant damage. That’s not all, since his rescue was quite a challenge, due to the unusual place where he was left. Let’s see what happened to him.
Ferrari Roma: The accident
The atypical event took place at the dealership that Ferrari owns in Palm Beach, United States. According to what was reported by the fire department that attended the scene, the malfunction of an elevator caused the fall of its load, which was neither more nor less than a Ferrari Roma. Where did it end? In the elevator shaft.
Faced with such an inconvenience, the first thing they did Palm Beach County Fire Rescue firefighters were to shut off power to the building, risking a fuel leak from the supercar. Then, they deployed portable pipes to the first and third floors, to have the water hoses ready in case of a possible fire.
After the risk decreased, the rescuers focused on getting the Ferrari out, which they did using a crane truck, whose arm measures 14 meters and can rotate 360º, and a large number of winches. Finally, and after four hours, they were able to rescue the supercar. Now, It only remains to fix it, something that will not be very cheap for those who have to pay for it…
