Oops, it's a $1,000,000 prang... Blonde crashes her Bentley into a Merc, Porsche, Ferrari and Aston Martin

 

When in Monte Carlo, everything is done in style. And that includes crashing your car.

This was the moment when a woman driver caused a $1,000,000 five-car pile-up as her Bentley  collided with a Mercedes, Ferrari, Porsche and Aston Martin.

Disaster struck as the hapless blonde negotiated the traffic around the Place du Casino in her $370,000 Bentley Azure.

The driver of a white Mercedes S Class worth $111,000 was the first victim as the 2.7 tonne Bentley scraped down the side of it before ploughing into a $207,000 black Ferrari F430.

An Aston Martin Rapide worth $207,000 and an $118,000 Porsche 911 also came a cropper. The driver and her two passengers then suffered the embarrassment of being surrounded by tourists as they were unable to open the doors of the convertible.

It is estimated the crash will cost more than $60,000 with the Ferrari, Porsche and Aston Martin requiring new front wings and bumpers. The Bentley will need the same repairs, plus a new door.

Ruud Poot, editor of European motoring website Autogespot, said: 'You probably couldn't find a worse place in the world to crash your car than outside Monaco's Place du Casino in the middle of the summer.'

A staggering $1,000,000 worth of cars were shunted in a matter of minutes - enough to make the Top Gear boys wince in pain and criticise who caused the incident.

There is a happy ending though, of sorts.Despite the fact her 2.7 tonne Bentley bingle involved more than $1m worth of luxury machinery, the cost of repairs is expected to reach around $60,000.
