A pair of multi-million dollar Bugatti Chirons will be sent to the panel beaters after a bizarre – and completely avoidable – crash in Morocco.
Footage uploaded to YouTube by The unlucky photographer shows a trio of Chirons overtaking a bus on a Moroccan highway, before falling into line behind a truck to avoid hitting oncoming cars.
However, with the road ahead clearing, the middle Chiron pulls out to overtake the hypercar and truck in front of it – just as the lead car also moves out of line to do the same.

Contact between the two hypercars causes one to spin off the road, while it appears the truck was also nudged, resulting in it going off the road and down an embankment, rolling over in the process.
While the extent of the damage to the vehicles is not yet known, it’s likely to be an expensive exercise due to the cost of the Bugattis to start with, not to mention their rarity and relative scarcity of parts.
To make matters more embarrassing for the drivers, they were taking part in a Bugatti-organised Grand Tour of Morocco, which the French brand’s new CEO – Mate Rimac – was also attending.
