An expensive $1 million plus freeway pileup on the Chugoku Expressway involved a crash of eight Ferraris, a Lamborghini, two Mercedes and three other cars in Japan 10:16 a.m. Sunday. Some of the cars were totaled. The pavement was wet from rain at the time of the accident.
The crash, which occurred in Yamaguchi prefecture, injured 10 people. None of the injuries were reported to be serious.
