TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — A driver lost control of a Ferrari SF90 Stradale valued at NT$23.85 million (US$742,800) and crashed it into a lamppost in Yilan City, reports said Saturday (Nov. 4).

The driver, a man surnamed Shih (石), 45, and a passenger sustained bruises, with the latter being transferred to a hospital in Luodong, the Liberty Times reported. An alcohol test turned out negative, and police are investigating the cause of the accident.
