A FERRARI driver who crashed into a line of parked cars in Halesowen has been fined more than £10k and banned from getting behind the wheel.
Richard Cullen, from Romsley, lost control of the £500k supercar on Hagley Road.
At Birmingham Magistrates' Court yesterday (Monday February 27), he was fined £3,008 for driving without due care and attention and £7,061 for failing to stop after the accident, leaving him with a total fine of £10,069.
Cullen, of St Kenelms Road, was also disqualified from driving for 12 months and ordered to pay costs of £185 and a surcharge of £190.
In total he must pay £10,444.
The court heard how Cullen admitted driving without due care and attention and failing to stop after the accident on May 25 last year.
The 50-year-old left the scene of the crash, with a picture released by firefighters at Haden Cross station showing the £500k supercar reduced to a wreck.
A spokesperson for West Midlands Fire Service said at the time: "Shortly before 7.45pm on Wednesday 25 May we responded to Hagley Road, Halesowen, where a car had been in collision with five parked vehicles."
They added: "The driver of the car had left the scene before we arrived.
"We made the vehicle safe and left the incident in the hands of the police at 8.45pm."
