A car worth more than ??800,000 was involved in a collision with a van before crashing into trees.
The accident occurred in heavy rain on a 40mph section of Renfree Way, Shepperton, Surrey, on Sunday, the BBC informed.
The rare Bugatti Veyron collided with a Vauxhall Astra van carrying a pregnant woman, who was taken to hospital as a precaution but later went home.
No one else was hurt but police have reported the Bugatti driver for driving without due care and attention.
Surrey Police said the luxury car was driven by a man who had a male passenger with him.
The eight-litre, hand-crafted Veyron has a top speed in excess of 250mph. The 1,000 horsepower Bugatti can accelerate from 0 to 60mph in 2.5 seconds.
