A driver walked away unhurt after crashing a custom-built £260,000-plus Ferrari 296 on the M602 motorway near Eccles, Salford, when they lost control in wet weather. Greater Manchester Police shared images of the wrecked supercar on social media, using the incident to urge motorists to adjust their driving to suit road conditions. The crash highlights how quickly heavy rain can turn dangerous even for experienced drivers of high-performance vehicles.

The custom-built Ferrari 296 involved is estimated to be worth between £320,000 and £330,000, well above the standard model's starting price of £259,695. The crash happened on Sunday following heavy downpours in the area, with photos showing the car's crumpled bonnet and exposed wiring, though the rear appeared largely undamaged. Greater Manchester Police Traffic said there were no injuries and reiterated the importance of driving to the conditions.
