An amusing tale from The Daily Mail that could only happen in Monaco :

When in Monte Carlo, everything is done in style. And that includes crashing your car.

This was the moment when a woman driver caused a £700,000 five-car pile-up as her Bentley  collided with a Mercedes, Ferrari, Porsche and Aston Martin.

Disaster struck as the hapless blonde negotiated the traffic around the Place du Casino in her £250,000 Bentley Azure.

The driver of a white Mercedes S Class worth £75,000 was the first victim as the 2.7-ton Bentley scraped down the side of it before ploughing into a £143,000 black Ferrari F430.

An Aston Martin Rapide worth £150,000 and an £80,000 Porsche 911 also came a cropper.

Even better, they have a nicely annotated photograph of the scene :

I would hate to see the carnage she leaves behind at the supermarket!

    The Aussie papers wondered if her hair colour had anything to do with it.

      AE – it is certainly possible but how do you tell if it’s real or fake – Monaco seems to be more presentation than substance. If she has something in common with a Boeing 747 (i.e. a black box) then it would rule out blonde stupidity.

      Either way, I am sure the boyfriend/sugar daddy (delete as appropriate) would not be too amused with the results of that little shopping trip.
