Mercedes SLR
This is the first SLR that has been totalled. There was one other SLR that has had a fender bender but the damage wasn't that bad. The story behind this: Former world boxing champion Prince Naseem Hamed, 31 years old, was passing several vehicles illegally when he crashed head-on with a Volkswagen Golf. He had 2 other passengers in the SLR at the time of the crash. They all got out and ran away from the scene of the accident. One of the passengers in the Volkswagon had a broken arm and needed urgent medical attention. Hamed and his 2 passengers were arrested, questioned, and released on bail.
