Man crashes recently-sold 911

One Friday night a Hamilton man crashed a 911 GT that had already been sold.

A Hamilton man has been hospitalised with moderate injuries after crashing his recently-sold high performance sports car into a concrete wall.

Police said the man was driving a 2007 Porsche 911 GT on Somerset Street about 7pm Friday when he spun out in wet weather, mounted a footpath and smashed through a concrete wall.

"It was estimated the Porsche was being driven in excess of 100km/h," Waikato police spokesman Andrew McAlley said.

Both the car and wall suffered "serious damage", he said.

The vehicle had reportedly been sold and was due to be shipped overseas.
