Ethan Gale, a supercar photographer, posted to social media: “Very sad day in the♚ motoring world this evening. A car I never thought I would see.

“Ever sin💦ce seeing this on YouTube driving around Monaco back in the day, it's always been a dream car to tick off the list.

“Late this afternoon this Pagani Zonda 760 LH previously owned by Lewis Hamilton had crashed in the Penmaenbach tunnel, Co🐷nwy, North Wales.

“Hop🥀eꦕfully the car gets a full restoration and is back on the road in the future.

What exactly happened is to be a mystery,' he said. 'But rumours go; it accelerated in the tunnel an🍬d lost control to the rear hit the💞 wall and spun it.

“But the main t🔜hing is that the owner is okay. Cars can be repaired, people's lives can't.”

Then-owner Hamilton crashed🐲 it into parked vehicles while driving in Monaco.

It was a result of heavy partying and not much rest for a week 🎶and a half.

“I am a bit run down,” he explained at the time. “I have been non-stop and trying to fit training in at the same time and no🐷t getting a lot of sleep.

“The last two days I have slept pretty much all day. I couldn’t believe how much I slept. I slept on the flight here. I usually sleep four or five hours but when you are training you need mo✤re than that.”
