One look pretty much says it all: There's one less McLaren F1 currently roaming the world's roads. There are no details of the crash other than it happened in Italy and that British actor Rowan Atkinson was on the scene immediately after the incident. (He wasn't in the car, but has wrecked one before and was driving a different F1 as part of an apparent rally or tour.) These photos come from the Italian publication lanazione.it; you can see many more at the link.

While the condition of the car (chassis #072) falls solidly into the "toasted" category, we expect a restoration will be underway shortly: Fewer than 70 roadgoing F1s were built and the cars currently command strong seven-figure prices. Reports indicate that the occupants of the car escaped with relatively minor injuries. Here's a picture of the car with the owner's matching 12C, which were part of a Top Gear magazine story in 2012:
