Unique Car Crashed at Penmaenbach Tunnel in Conwy A rare vehicle once belonging to Lewis Hamilton has been severely damaged in an accident, as confirmed by a
Conwy-based photographer.
Photographs of the wreckage were posted on Instagram by Ethan Gale, an 18-year-old photographer.
The collision occurred at Conwy's Penmaenbach Tunnel along the A55 highway. The Pagani Zonda 760 LH, bearing the British driver's insignia, was transported away for repairs.
According to Mr. Gale, he received notification about the crash shortly after it occurred.
"Heavy rain was falling as the car entered the tunnel," he recounted.
"The car lost control, struck the wall on the opposite side of the road, rebounded, hit the other wall, and then rebounded once more."

"Individuals with high-speed vehicles travel through here and often aim to showcase their vehicles in the tunnels, generating noise. Unexpected incidents can arise."
The cause of the accident remains unconfirmed, but reports suggest the driver emerged unscathed.
"It's the only one of its kind. Witnessing the car was truly remarkable," remarked Mr. Gale.
Previously, Hamilton experienced a crash in the same car in Monaco back in 2015.
