Someone’s reaction to crashing a quarter million dollar sports car is largely based on their annual income and blood alcohol level. Even so, I’ve never seen anyone abandon a expensive road rockets on the curb. This changed earlier this week.
An unattended white 2020 McLaren 600LT was found by the Washington State Patrol on State Route 512 near Tacoma, Washington. The long-tailed McLaren was discovered lying under a railing. Photos posted to Twitter by one of the State Patrol’s public information officers show the vehicle’s greenhouse violently divided by a barricade with lights still on and the driver’s side door. is open.
According to the State Patrol, the McLaren was not reported stolen and still has a dealer plate. The car is registered in Washington, but it is not clear how the sports car got under a railing. The 592 hp McLaren might be too much for a new owner to handle, or maybe the driver is not the owner of the vehicle.
Soldier John Dattilo said to Oregonians, “This kind of collision happens all the time, people don’t want to get in trouble, so they leave the car behind. But it doesn’t have to be a $200,000 McLaren. ” In Washington State, driving away from the scene of property damage may result in a misdemeanor runaway. Exact wording in the state’s legal code:
Chapter 46.52.010
(2) The driver of any vehicle involved in an accident resulting solely in damage to fixed property or located on or adjacent to any public highway must take reasonable steps to locate and notify the owner or custodian of that property of that fact and of the name and address of the driver and owner of the vehicle that robbed the property, or will leave it at conspicuous when property is marked in writing, stating the name and address of the driver and vehicle owner for the robbery, and that person shall further report the accident as in the case of other accidents. another accident on a public highway in this state.
Even so, the McLaren 600LTthe value of making It seems more likely that the driver escaped legal consequences more serious than a misdemeanor.
