Default Employee crashes Spyker showmodel

An employee from the Antwerp garage Beerens couldn't have done any worse. The poor man didn't have a car accident in his entire life.

But just when he had to drive a brand new dutch Spyker, worth €271.000, to a big carshow in Brussels, the car slipped on its side in a small river and the car got heavily damaged.
"I probably pulled the wheel a bit too much", said a poor Gert Beerts saturday in The Latest News.

The car should've been the crown on the Brussels carshow, that starts saturday. There are only 3 of the model driving around in Belgium. Car producer Spyker from Zeewolde immediately sent an alternative car, that has been displayed at the very last moment for the aprox. 320.000 visitors for the Autosalon of Brussels.
Hmm waiting for pictures.

*edit: pictures thanks to spidey007

Don't think so, why would he say himself that he pulled the wheel 'a bit too much' then? Weird statement then, wouldn't it be?
