A motorist had some explaining to do today after crashing someone else’s £1million supercar.

The driver of the Pagani Zonda GJ lost control of the 200mph vehicle while driving around in an industrial estate in north west London.

He crashed the one-off motor into metal fencing, seriously damaging the car’s bodywork.

The supercar was spotted being driven earlier in the day with trade plates, and it is not thought the owner of the car was driving at the time of the crash.

A spokesperson for the Met Police said no one was hurt in the incident, which took place in Park Royal at lunchtime yesterday.

The Zonda suffered serious damage in the crash

The Zonda is powered by a 7.3-litre V12 engine giving it a 0-62mph time of just 3.5 seconds and a top speed of 214mph.
