Man Crashes Ferrari To Save Hedgehog

Black_Samson

We've heard of some pretty silly excuses from exotic car owners who have just turned their high dollar investments into insurance write-offs, but we'd have to say Joerg Daescher has the strangest explanation for crashing his 1995 Ferrari Testarossa we've ever heard.

According to the 53 year old man, it wasn't a heavy foot that caused him to crash his F512M last week in Lower Saxony, Germany — it was a hedgehog. Yes, a hedgehog. You know, like "Sonic."

The UK's Daily Mail reports that while trying to avoid the prickly mammal on wet roads, Daescher spun out of control in his Ferrari and hit a barrier.

Luckily neither the man or the hedgehog (not pictured) were injured in the crash, but the same could not be said for the Ferrari.

Sonic would've been fast enough to move out of the way.

Might have saved his own life...if the hedgehog was big enough, it may have destabilised the car if he ran over it at speed

if im not mistaken, the body damage would cost less then replacing the engine after having a gerbil sized mammal sucked into the intake.
