Exclamation Editor Of Luxury Magazine Crashes $250,650 Bentley During Connecticut Test-drive

EDITOR OF LUXURY MAGAZINE CRASHES $250,650 BENTLEY DURING CONNECTICUT TEST-DRIVE

The car had to be towed back to New York City. It will get a mention in the next edition of the magazine / Supplied Source: Supplied

THE editor of wealth management magazine Worth crashed a $250,650.00 Bentley in Connecticut during a test-drive.

Kate Winick, the senior editor for the magazine that advises high-net-worth people how to manage their money, was test-driving a new Continental GTC Speed 8011, in Ridgefield, Connecticut, when she lost control of the pricey convertible on an icy road and had to swerve to avoid a parked UPS truck, Women's Wear Daily reported.

“Lost its bumper,” is how Winick described last week's crash. She said people at the car company were “lovely.”

“You know, they deal with this stuff all the time,” she added.

i think in this case it's 'poor insurance company' that has to foot the bill.
