The Pangani Zoꦓnda 760 LH was custom-made for the Mercedes F1 driver.

He sold it ๊a year ago at a £7m profit but it has now been pictured in a crash.

🌜It had a smashed windscreen after an incident in t🍒he Penmaenbach Tunnel on the A55 in north Wales.

Ethan Gale, a supercar photographer, posted to social media: “Very sad day in the motoring world this evening. A car I ജnever thought I would see.

“Ever since seeing this on Y🔯ouTube driving around Monaco back in the day, it's always been a dream car to tick off the list.

“Late this afternoon this Pagani Zonda 760 LH previously 🔥owned by Lewis Hamilton had crashed in the Pen💟maenbach tunnel, Conwy, North Wales.

“Hopefully the car gets a ful💮l restoration and is back on the road in the future.

What exactly happened is to be a mystery,' he said. 'But rumours go; it accelerated in the tunnel and🐎 l🍎ost control to the rear hit the wall and spun it.

“But the main thingಌ is that the owner is okay. Cars can be repaired, people's livesಞ can't.”

But in 2015 💯this supercar was involved in another high-profile incident.

Then-owner Hamilton cr༒ashed﷽ it into parked vehicles while driving in Monaco.

It was a result of heavy part💦ying and not much rest for a week and a half.

“I am a bit run down,” he explained at the time. “I have been non-stop and trying to fit training in at the same time and🐼 not getting a lot of sleep𝓡.

“The last two days I have slept pretty much all day. I couldn’t believe how much I s꧋lept. I slept on the flight here. I usually sleep four or five hours but wh🎐en you are training you need more than that.”
