What you see in the photos is an impressive Ford GT, one of our favorite supercars, although we can’t say we like it in these conditions. This crash happened just after 12:30 a.m. in the northbound lanes of Interstate 71 just north of the Edwards Road exit.

According to the officers, the driver was “with a misdemeanor charge that he failed to control the vehicle”. . A passenger in the Ford GT has also suffered minor injuries. The bad part is that repairing the car might be quite expensive, taking in consideration that the Ford GT is a car that is worth around $150,000. Photo gallery after the jump!
