A spokesperson for an insurance company revealed the crash happened because the driver, a woman in her 40′s, had confused the accelerator for the brake pedal. The spokesperson also stated that the car was a new purchase and was only a few days old.

Maseratis are priced at several million yuan in China, and the value of these luxury vehicles usually means that they are allowed to park anywhere at all.
