In Lichtervelde, Belgium around 11:15 AM on Thursday an owner of yellow Ferrari F430 Spider landed on its roof after a failure of one of the tires.
The owner has no injuries, but the car suffered considerable damage. The repair costs are certainly in the tens of thousands of Euros.

looks like the car has just been flipped over with a forklift. there is no damage to the sides or the windscreen, you’d imagine it’d be all bashed in if it ended up like that.
It really looks a bit suspicious, have to agree with Shawn. I mean if a wheel falls off at such a speed that it would flip the car the on its roof, at least the windscreen would be shattered.
I can give u guys some more information.
One of the tires exploded (tire blowout) when the driver took his car out for a sunny drive. He lost control, the car hit a tree and flipped over in a ditch. The car is declared as total loss and cannot be repaired again.
Tire failure is common amongst the f430. Check this:

And the wing mirror is still attached which i find strange on the side with the damage
@S.GTR:You can’t say that it’s common if there are only 2 known cases…
What did he expect with those license plates.
He was asking for the devil to come…
:D:D
@resa
Lol!…and God surely wasn’t going to help save that one.
Why don’t people think before posting stupid comments ?
The Vehicle clearly has significant damage.
Front Right Wheel Arch and Quarter Panel totally destroyed
Whole of Left Side of vehicle exhibits Scratch Marks showing at least contact with or drag against Road Surface.
Left Wing Mirror Completely Desrtoyed which indicates the flip was Counter-Clockwise.
I am neither a Genius nor Rocket Scientist, just a little common sense is all that is required to figure out the most probable scenario.
