The unluckiest man in the world award this week goes to one Mr. Liu -- resident of Chongqing, China -- who crashed a $4.1-million Koenigsegg Argera R supercar into sidewalk barrier pylons early Sunday morning.
According to People's Daily Online, the outlet that originally identified as Mr. Liu as the driver, police have detained Mr. Liu for driving under the influence of alcohol. Chinese media are referring to the incident as the most expensive car crash in Chinese history.
Witnesses report that Mr. Liu never got out to survey the damage. Instead, he remained behind the wheel -- covering his face with his clothes -- for two hours until a tow truck showed up.
Worse yet, the car reportedly has no plates, indicating the Swedish supercar might not be insured.
Even if the driver wasn't drunk, the Agera R is no easy car to control. The sleek Swede is powered by a twin-turbo 5.0-liter V8 engine that produces 1,140 horsepower. All told, it'll do 0 to 62 mph in 2.8 seconds. With a lightweight body and a heap of horsepower at the disposal of the driver's left foot, it's easy to imagine the situation getting out of hand quite quickly.
It's unclear how much it'll cost to fix the car. However, it most certainly will need to be shipped back to Sweden to receive full repairs.
