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

“Ever since seeing this on YouTube d🐎riving around Monaco back in the da🔯y, 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 i🦩n the Penmaenbach tunnel, Conwy, North Wales.

“Hopefully the car gets a full restora🐲tion and is back on the road in the future.

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

“But the main thing is that the owner is okay. Cars can be repaired, people's 𓂃lives can't.”

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

It was a rꦦesult 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 not gettin🦩g 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 fiv🥃e hours but when you are training you need more than that.”
