Post-90s young chef crashed Rolls-Royce, shocked by one million compensation fee. At around 11:30 am yesterday (February 14), on the VIP channel of Nanjing Lukou International Airport's welcoming road, a Dongfeng Liangyue car collided with a Rolls-Royce Phantom Limited Edition worth 12 million yuan at a curve. The left front tire and rim and the left carbon fiber protective panel of the Rolls-Royce Phantom were severely damaged. It was estimated that the repair would cost 800,000 yuan. The Dongfeng Liangyue crossed the yellow line and hit the Rolls-Royce. The owner of the Dongfeng Liangyue is a post-90s young man. He was initially determined to be fully responsible. However, his car's third-party liability insurance only covered up to 300,000 yuan, so he had to pay the remaining 500,000 yuan out of his own pocket, which he couldn't afford.
Relevant personnel from the ownership unit of the Rolls-Royce expressed that out of sympathy, they might consider negotiating to reduce the compensation. The limited edition Rolls-Royce Phantom involved in the accident is worth 12 million yuan, and its gold emblem alone is worth tens of thousands of yuan. This Rolls-Royce was basically undisturbed and was parked at the curved outer mouth when the accident occurred. Due to the impact, the left front tire of the Rolls-Royce burst, the rim deformed, and the circular "double R" emblem overlapped. In addition to the damage to the tire and rim, a large piece of the protective panel on the left side of the car body was torn and damaged, the fender fell off and wrapped around the wheel, and the turn signal wires were exposed.
"I don't know if the headlights are damaged, but it's possible that the entire assembly needs to be replaced. The loss is still quite significant," said the on-site supervisor, who works for Tai Neng Group Company. This limited edition Rolls-Royce Phantom belongs to their company. It is introduced that this limited edition Rolls-Royce Phantom is worth about 12 million yuan, sandstone white in color, with a displacement of 6.7L, over 5.6 meters in length, and about two meters in width. The "Flying Goddess" emblem on the air intake grille is made of 24K pure gold, and one emblem alone is worth tens of thousands of yuan. It is said that after locking the car door, the "Flying Goddess" emblem automatically sinks into the engine compartment, like the lens of a point-and-shoot camera. Once it retracts, it automatically covers itself, which is a theft prevention feature that cannot be pried open. Moreover, the pure gold "Flying Goddess" emblem is a symbol of nobility and will retract into the engine compartment when the speed exceeds 80 kilometers per hour, avoiding wind and sand damage.
The Rolls-Royce was parked here for more than three hours, and passers-by kept coming to take a look. "Why did you have to crash into a Rolls-Royce? How much do you think you'll have to compensate?" The on-site staff introduced that they preliminarily estimated that the repair might cost up to 800,000 yuan. The damaged left front protective panel is made of carbon fiber, handmade and installed. Both the tires and rims need to be replaced. The tires are Rolls-Royce dedicated tires, and each tire is worth tens of thousands of yuan. However, it has to be repaired in Shanghai, Ningbo, or Hangzhou as there is no repair service available in Nanjing yet. They are waiting for a professional tow truck to come and tow it away. An ordinary tow truck can't even lift it. Yesterday afternoon, Tai Neng Group Company found a professional tow truck themselves, lifted the Rolls-Royce onto the flatbed, moved it onto the tow truck, and towed it to Shanghai for repairs.
It is understood that the driver involved in the accident, Mr. Liu, is from Xuyi County and is only 21 years old. After finishing the record, Xiao Liu was still very anxious, his eyebrows tightly furrowed. He works in a restaurant in Nanjing, obtained his driver's license just over a year ago, and bought this car when he got his license, which he purchased on loan. He rarely drives this car himself; it is usually rented out. He only uses it occasionally for personal needs, and the rent is used to repay the car loan. Xiao Liu said that his economic situation is not good. His parents are both in the countryside, and he has been married for not long, still owing several ten thousand yuan in debt from his wedding. His Dongfeng Liangyue car's third-party liability insurance covers up to 300,000 yuan. After the incident, the insurance company also came to inspect the scene, and the compensation amount is within 300,000 yuan. If the Rolls-Royce repair costs 800,000 yuan, he would have to compensate 500,000 yuan. "After the accident, I called home, and my family cried together, feeling as if the sky had fallen," Xiao Liu said, tears streaming down his face.
