Bugatti Accident

A private owner in the UK apparently recently hydroplaned and ditched the car outside of London. This is the first Bugatti Veyron accident. It seems that the car is heavily damaged from the front and needs extensive repairs. As a personal injury lawyer in Georgia we would agree this is a unique personal injury law accident.

The Mail reports the vehicle was registered to 41-year old businessman Kumar Soni, but it’s believed the person behind the wheel at the time of the accident was his younger brother, 39-year old Ajay Soni. The crash occurred near the owner’s £3 million Surrey home in the UK, and neighbors claim it had caused a heated argument between the two brothers. This would be understandable. “Hey bro, can I borrow your sweet sports car and take it out for a spin?” Reply: “Go ahead, but don’t you dare scratch it!” Fuel for more sibling rivalry we are sure. We do not know if anyone was seriously injured in the accident. A close call accident perhaps.

It’s also thought that the £830,000 supercar was only delivered a week before the crash and is one of only a dozen such models in the UK. Onlookers claim the car was traveling in excess of 100mph before the driver lost control, hit a Vauxhall Astra driven by a seven-month pregnant woman, and spun three times before crashing into trees beside the road. Any trauma involved in an accident to a pregnant women can cause complications. We represented a case where a driver was in the wrong place at the wrong time. It resulted in the death of the driver due to being struck by a tractor-trailer truck.

The Bugatti Veyron EB 16.4 is a mid-engined grand touring car. The Super Sport version is the fastest production car in the world, with an average top speed of 431.072 kilometres per hour (267.856 mph).[4] Designed and developed by the German Volkswagen Group and produced by Bugatti Automobiles SAS at their headquarters in Château St. Jean in Molsheim (Alsace, France), the Veyron’s chief designer was Hartmut Warkuss, and the exterior was designed by Jozef Kabaň of Volkswagen, with much of the engineering work being conducted under the guidance of a former VW engineer and now Bugatti Engineering chief Wolfgang Schreiber.The car is named after French racing driver Pierre Veyron, who won the 24 hours of Le Mans in 1939 while racing for the original Bugatti company. It was named “Car of the Decade” (2000–2009) by the BBC television programme Top Gear.

Local police have taken details, and the driver is currently being investigated for driving without due care and attention. Fortunately, no-one was injured during the accident. The Soni family run several car hire and property companies based in London.
