The cars were being driven by a group of car enthusiasts, aged 37 to 60, on their way to Hiroshima, reported the Associated Press.
According to USA Today, Executive Officer for Yamaguchi Prefecture’s Expressway Traffic Police unit, Mitsuyoshi Isejima, said the accident occurred when the driver of a Ferrari attempted to switch lanes.
The 60-year-old driver, who now reportedly may face jail time or a fine, lost control on wet pavement and skidded.
