This Is All That's Left Of A McLaren 570S That Crashed Into A House

Before Sunday morning, the burned-out carcass you see in the images above was a gleaming Ventura Orange McLaren 570S. You’d struggle to tell now, as, well… there’s really not a whole lot left.

It hit a house near Trowbridge, Wiltshire, during the early hours of Sunday, bursting into flames shortly after. The vehicle’s two occupants managed to escape with only minor injuries. BBC News quotes Damien Bence of Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue as saying: “Prior to hitting the building it snapped an electric pole in half, and forced the top half of the pole through the window of the house”. He also said that it was “absolutely amazing” that the pair were able to walk away from the wreck. Score one for the carbonfibre Monocell…

The decapitated electrical pole complicated matters for the rescue services, since it left a “live electrical cable” flopped across the road. As a result, fire personnel had to “negotiate their way through part of a wood in order to get to the incident.”

Part of the house the car struck (what looks to be a porch) collapsed in the crash, but the local fire service said the property had been “shored up and made safe.”
