Usman Ali tied the knot with wife Sakina Parveen 24 hours before he drove the £240,000 supercar into the front wall of a house in Burnley, Lancashire. The 25-year-old, a tyre fitter for his father’s garage, is believed to have paid a £5,000 deposit to hire out the car for his wedding weekend. The Ferrari 458 Spider reportedly belongs to a Birmingham-based luxury car hire company, Platinum Executive Travel. But on Sunday, the day after the wedding, his foot apparently tripped on the car mat and he pressed the accelerator rather than the brake as he arrived at his friend's house ahead of further celebrations of his nuptials with wife Sakina Parveen.

"I don't think he had enough experience driving this sort of car," a friend told The Daily Mail.
The luxury car – which can go from 0 to 60mph in just three seconds – shot forward and smashed into the front of a terraced house. According to friends, the crash could cost Mr Ali around £25,000 - with £5,000 lost on the deposit and a £20,000 excess.
