Millionaire Benjamin Chen destroyed his $750,000 Porsche Mirage GT supercar while driving high on drugs through the abandoned streets of downtown Manhattan, New York on Tuesday. The crash happened at around 7:30 am and the scene was captured on security camera footage as well as cell phone footage taken by onlookers who witnessed the action.
After smashing into a van in front of several bystanders, Chen attempted to drive away in his mangled car but didn’t make it very far. Police quickly arrived on the scene and arrested the 33-year-old on charges of reckless driving and operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of drugs. It is not clear what drugs he was using at the time, as he was not charged with possession. It is likely that nothing was found on him.
Chen hit at least five unoccupied vehicles that were parked along 11th Avenue on the west side of Manhattan. He attempted to flee, but only made it to 44th street, just north of the Javits Center, where he eventually came to a stop and waited for police.
The car that Chen wrecked is a Porsche Mirage GT, which as an elite group of supercars based on the iconic Porsche Carrera GT. Only 25 of these cars exist in the entire world, and they are all fully customized to the owner’s personal specifications. It takes the company about 1,000 hours to complete each of the 25 cars.
