Pictured: The 12-plate ￡80,000 Range Rover ended up between a rock and a hard place after the 5am crash - but unlike the car, all four female occupants escaped unhurt Here is one off-road challenge that proved too much for a brand new ￡80,000 Range Rover. The luxury 4x4 - with less than 500 miles on the clock - was written off when it left the road and became wedged on its side between a wall and a basement. Incredibly, witnesses said the woman driver and three female passengers escaped unscathed from the crash in the upmarket London district of Fitzrovia. The gleaming white Range Rover Sport swerved off the carriageway and smashed through metal railings before becoming stuck sideways at the bottom of a 14-foot drop. The 12-plate car, which cost more than ￡80,000 before any optional extras, was salvaged a few hours after the crash at 5am on Sunday. But the roof was wrecked and the car appeared to be destined for the scrap yard. Passerby Farook Rahman said: "I noticed the railing was smashed and there were some skid marks on the pavement, so I went over for a look. "I couldn't believe it when I saw this posh car stuck at the bottom. "That would either take a lot of skill or bad luck to land a huge car down there. "I spoke to one of the neighbours who said the car had four girls in it and they were all right, which in itself is a miracle. "I've never seen anything like that before. Wow." The car is fitted with a 5-litre supercharged V8 engine which develops a whopping 510bhp. This gives the sporty off-roader a 0-62mph time of just five seconds and a top speed which is electronically limited to 155mph. Metropolitan Police said the incident was not a police matter and they would not be investigating. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/wei ... 80801#ixzz2x3ZNKWRV
