A Ferrari driver will be counting a cost of his mishap after he lost control and ended up in a river in the Bernese Oberland.
The car – worth as much as half a million francs – was half submerged near Zweisimmen. The driver was unhurt but had to wait, standing the hood, until help arrived.
It took around half an hour before he was lifted out by rescuers. By that time the spectacle had attracted a large crowd.
No news on the state of the car.
