Dashcam Footage Shows Ex-Lewis Hamilton Pagani Zonda Crash In UK Tunnel

A dashcam video posted on Instagram by the user @wearethekardachshunds shows the location and circumstances of the crash involving an ex-Lewis Hamilton Pagani Zonda 760 LH. The incident occurred earlier this week and resulted in significant damage to the purple supercar.

In the embedded video below, the unique Italian V12-powered vehicle can be seen driving on the right lane of the A55 expressway in Conwy, North Wales. As the car enters the Penmaenbach tunnel, the driver accelerates, causing the powerful 7.3-liter naturally-aspirated engine to roar. However, moments later, the car collides with the left-hand wall of the tunnel and bounces off into the right wall before coming to a stop.

The dashcam footage shows that the incident happened very quickly, and by the time the camera-equipped car reached the scene, the driver was already outside inspecting the damage. The driver confirmed that they were unhurt when asked.

A few days ago, we reported on the crash and included several photos taken by Ethan Gale at the scene. These photos reveal the extensive damage to the 760-horsepower Pagani Zonda LH, including misaligned front wheels, a broken rear axle, a cracked windshield, damaged headlights, and broken carbon fiber body panels.

The Pagani Zonda 760 LH, purchased by seven-time Formula One World Champion Lewis Hamilton in 2012, is one of only five units of the 760 series built by Pagani, and it is the only one equipped with a manual transmission.

Ex-Lewis Hamilton Pagani Zonda 760 LH Crashed, Driver Is Ok

Lewis Hamilton purchased his Pagani Zonda 760 LH in 2014 and owned it for around seven years, driving it for less than 1,000 kilometers (621 miles). This particular model is one of only five “760” cars, and it is unique with the “LH” suffix, representing Lewis Hamilton’s initials. At the end of 2021, a buyer from the UK purchased the one-of-a-kind supercar equipped with a manual gearbox.

In 2015, the 760 LH was involved in a minor accident in Monaco, and now it has been in a more serious crash. Photographer Ethan Gale captured images of the damaged car in Conwy, Wales, specifically in the Penmaenbach tunnel. The photos reveal significant damages to the car, and it will likely require a considerable amount of money to repair.
