After the incident, the occupants were able to leave the area in good health.
Here’s the public service announcement for today: Please don’t speed on public roads. We see it time and again that people speed on public roads. You not only put your life at risk, but the lives of all those on the road with your vehicle. The McLaren 720S that was thrown into the desert by the above video seems to have been the only vehicle in the accident. It sent the supercar into the Nevada desert. This video is from DailyDrivenExotics and shows the aftermath of the horrible crash.
The McLaren driver must have been driving through the desert. The video shows that McLaren drove through a curve in the highway before cutting into the opposite lane and heading off the road. The driver somehow managed to keep the car from going down the ravine just off the road. It barely sat on the edge. The wheel and the carbon-ceramic brake ended up in the ravine far from the car.
The McLaren has been destroyed. The amount of debris scattered across the desert makes it look like the McLaren was rolled multiple times. The body panels are missing from the entire rear end of the car. Although the driver’s door appears unharmed, the passenger side is the most damaged. The roof has been crushed and the hinges of the door have been ripped off. The roof seems to have fallen into the passenger seat’s top, which could have proved fatal if the passenger is taller than the rest. There is dirt everywhere. Although the front is the most damaged, it’s still very bad considering the extent of the damage.
According to the video, police found the car abandoned when they arrived. They did however manage to get to a local hospital with minor injuries, such as scrapes or bruises.
The accident could have been worse. A passerby may not have noticed the car if it had fallen into the ravine. They could have become trapped and not been able to call for help. This is a reminder that you should not be reckless with your high-speed antics. It is possible for something to go wrong.
