Usman Ali, 25, who works as a tyre fitter, lost control of the supercar after his foot slipped on the day after his wedding.

The car, which is capable of reaching 60mph in just three seconds, had been hired for Ali’s weekend wedding but he now faces a bill of up to £25,000 after he smashed it into a friend’s house.

A spokesman for Lancashire Police said: “We were called around 12.40pm on Sunday, April 17, after reports of a collision on Abel Street in Burnley.

“Officers attended and found a white Ferrari spider car had collided with a wall.

“The male driver, 25, was uninjured.

“No arrests were made.”

A friend of Ali said: “It’s a rear-wheel drive and has 500 or so horsepower, so it’s not easy to get the hang of straight away.

“He’d put a £5,000 deposit on it and there’s going to be a hefty excess to pay.”
