Some accident! The damaged Ferrari F8 Tributo
Some accident! The damaged Ferrari F8 Tributo

A photo circulating on social media demonstrates the risks of not securing your load.

The photo depicts “a bad day at work” for a forklift driver in China, after an industrial oven he was transporting fell onto the nose of a Ferrari F8 Tributo.

According to the website CarBuzz, images of the incident were first uploaded to Chinese social media platform Weibo before being distributed on Twitter – showing a heavy stainless steel oven resting on the front of the Ferrari.

The incident was also captured on video, with a Twitter post showing how much the oven weighs, with the F8 Tributo’s nose almost touching the ground while its rear end is raised.

The cost of the repair to the USD500,000 vehicle is not known, nor is it known whether the oven was damaged – or if the driver still has a job.
