British couple die after Ferrari plunges off mountain in Spain
A British couple have died after their Ferrari plunged off a mountain highway into a river in northern Spain.
Pictures show the wrecked black supercar in the Yuso River in Boca de Huergano, on Saturday.
The couple, aged 78 and 58, are said to have been part of a large group of about 20 other Ferrari owners taking part in a rally.
Local media outlets said the pair had been driving along a scenic highway, the N-621, prior to the fatal accident.
Emergency operations took up to six hours after crews arrived on the scene.
Police have not yet named the couple.
It is not known whether they died from the impact of the crash or drowned in the river.
Jose Antonio Gutierrez Sampedro, a local resident, said: 'A Ferrari 488 with 700 horsepower needs to be handled carefully. Maybe the driver suffered a medical emergency. Such a sad way to lose your life.'
