Ferrari 296 Wrecked on M602 After Driver Loses Control

Greater Manchester Police shared images of the mangled car to warn that heavy rain raises the risk of losing control on motorways.

Overview

  • A single Ferrari 296 lost control on the M602 through Salford on Sunday and sustained extensive front‑end damage while the driver walked away unhurt.
  • Greater Manchester Police Traffic posted photos of the wreck on X and used the crash to urge motorists to drive to the conditions during heavy downpours.
  • An eyewitness and local reporting indicate no other vehicle appeared to be involved and recovery was completed with only limited traffic disruption.
  • Police have confirmed the core facts but have released no further investigatory details about how the collision occurred.
  • The M602 links the M60 and M62 toward Manchester and shows how wet conditions can trigger single‑vehicle losses of control, with the destroyed Ferrari 296 representing a substantial asset loss given model prices of around £260,000–£330,000.
