Car technician seeks compensation after 100 mph Ferrari crash

A car technician is seeking personal injury compensation after he crashed a high performance Ferrari 348 TS.

Stephen Harris was employed at the Ferrari Centre in Maidstone, Kent, when he lost control of the supercar while test driving it.

He suffered serious injuries in the car accident and now requires round the clock care after being paralysed from the neck down.

Mr Harris has now launched a personal injury claim against his former employers, claiming that it was negligent to allow him to test drive high performance vehicles on the open road.

The claim also states that his former boss Roger Collingwood instructed him to take the car up to 100 mph to make sure the Ferrari was running smoothly.

Mr Collingwood denies negligence and stated that all employees were instructed to obey the rules of the road and are never told to exceed national speed limits.

A man who was hit by a car when it mounted a kerb in Manchester recently received personal injury compensation for the injuries he sustained as a result of the accident.
