A HAPLESS driver has crashed his brand new £250,000 supercar on the same day that he bought it.
The Ferrari 488 had only travelled two miles before it was involved in a major collision in Derby earlier today.
Photos show the vehicle visibly crumped at the front with a number of scratches across it.
The unnamed driver did not suffer any injuries.
Derbyshire Roads Policing Unit wrote on Twitter: “Driver bought a Ferrari this morning and crashed it after driving it less than 2 miles. No injuries.”

Others were equally stunned at how the driver damaged his expensive car in such a short period of time.
One wrote: “What on earth was he doing? Is he even licensed to drive?”
A second added: “How mortified would you be? That is going to take some fixing.”
