The thought of getting into an accident with a high-value vehicle is enough to give most drivers a sense of unease. That said, smashing up somebody’s six-figure machine is probably an easier pill to swallow when you’re riding in your own Italian supercar. Two drivers in Tokyo recently found themselves in this pricey situation, after a Maybach and a F355 came together in a busy intersection.

Footage of the crash aftermath was captured by automotive photographer Alex Penfold and later shared with friend and collaborator effspot on YouTube. According to the YouTuber, the crash took place in one of the busier areas of the Akihabara district in central Tokyo. The footage starts with a shot of a damaged Mercedes-Maybach S580, which appears to have been hit in the rear driver’s side. The 5000-plus-pound sedan doesn’t appear to be all that messed up, and should ultimately be repairable. Considering these things start at over $180,000 in the States, the owner is surely still irritated with the result.
