The most expensive fender-bender in world history

Or, at least, that's the working assumption after a blonde Bentley owner touched off a pileup in Monte Carlo with a Mercedes, a Porsche, a Ferrari and an Aston-Martin.

...a woman driver caused a £700,000 five-car pile-up as her Bentley collided with a Mercedes, Ferrari, Porsche and Aston Martin.

Disaster struck as the hapless blonde negotiated the traffic around the Place du Casino in her £250,000 Bentley Azure.

The driver of a white Mercedes S Class worth £75,000 was the first victim as the 2.7-ton Bentley scraped down the side of it before ploughing into a £143,000 black Ferrari F430.

An Aston Martin Rapide worth £150,000 and an £80,000 Porsche 911 also came a cropper. The driver and her two passengers then suffered the embarrassment of being surrounded by tourists as they were unable to open the doors of the convertible...

The Daily Mail goes on to cite a University of Michigan study that reviewed 6.5 million car crashes and found a higher-than-expected number of accidents between two female drivers.

Although you didn't hear that from me.
