Because she was distracted by her mobile phone, a woman collided with a Jaguar XK120 taking part in the Mille Miglia warm-up on Schwaitl Landesstraße in Elsbethen (Salzburg) on Friday. An accident with extremely expensive consequences!
Blood runs down his face, emotions and swear words fly through the air. An accident had happened! A young woman from Flachgau crashed her car into a rare Jaguar XK120 from the 1950s on the Schwaitl Landesstraße near Elsbethen.
Giuseppe Cerbone and Nicolo Bottini Bongrani from Brescia were in the Jaguar when the 23-year-old Hungarian’s silver mid-range car suddenly crossed into the middle of the road and crashed into the collectible.
An accident occurred during a show ride
The two young Italians were on their way to Mittersill in the Jaguar as part of the Mille Miglia warm-up race from Fuschl. With any luck, the two escaped unscathed, with only a few scratches on their faces. Both certainly imagined their stay in Salzburg differently.
A video that appeared on the online platform X (formerly Twitter) shows the battlefield on the street. Both the two Italians and the woman can be heard. The woman openly admits that she was just on the phone. The two Italians hurl various insults at her.
The classic from the 1950s is a special kind of Jaguar, in a sense a kind of testimony to the famous classic car racing series Mille Miglia. And it’s probably a total loss now. On the market, enthusiasts can pay several hundred thousand euros for an XK120 – depending on the condition and the previous owner.
It all happened as part of the Mille Miglia warm-up, which took place for the first time in Salzburg. It is intended as a kind of show ride for the famous Italian classic car race.
