A bodyguard had to explain to his boss that he crashed his £1million supercar recently… while it was uninsured.
Andy Danso was bringing the flash Pagani Zonda back from an MOT when he ploughed it into a fence, causing thousands of pounds worth of damage.
The 43-year-old told police he was swerving to avoid a ‘silver car’, however he changed his story to say he was adjusting his seat after CCTV showed no silver car on the road when the crash occurred in February.
He admitted he was too embarrassed to tell police the real reason for the crash in Wembley, north-west London.

Appearing at Willesden Magistrates’ Court this week, Danso said: ‘I just lifted the lever up and went to push it back.
Danso denied driving at ‘some speed’, and no evidence was presented to suggest he was breaking the speed limit.
He was, however, convicted of driving the car without due care and attention or the correct insurance to cover the damage.
Danso has reportedly managed to keep his job working for a wealthy Chinese businessman.

District judge Denis Brennan said: ‘Finding the seat was uncomfortable, because you were too close to the steering wheel, you continued on the journey.
‘Whereas a reasonable and prudent driver would have pulled over you didn’t and as far as that there was an accident.
‘Therefore I find you guilty.’
