A BRIT couple have died in a horror crash in Spain after their 205mph Ferrari skidded off the road during a rally and plunged into a river.

The married couple were found by rescuers in Boca de Huergano, northern Spain, in their £300,000 super car on May 10.

Grim images showed the black Ferrari’s 488’s crushed remains, partially submerged in the Yuso River.

The couple, aged 78 and 58, were part of a large envoy of about 20 other Ferrari owners also with UK number plates.

The group had arrived in nearby Leon the day before the crash.

Emergency workers told how they had to hack their way through thick riverside plants before they reached the car.

Firefighters also took part in the gruelling recovery mission and spent more than six hours trying to free the tragic couples’ corpses.

The car had flipped on its roof in the river – before firefighters turned it over.

It is unclear whether the pair drowned or died from their initial injuries.

One local commentator Jose Antonio Gutierrez Sampedro said: “A Ferrari 488 with 700 horsepower needs to be handled carefully.

“It seems the couple were 78 and 58 years old. Maybe the driver suffered a medical emergency. Such a sad way to lose your life.”

The couple had been driving on the N-621 road – one of Spain‘s National Highways known for its stunning views.

But the road also has several twists and turns which can make navigation more challenging.

The Ferrari 488 can do 0-60mph in just under three seconds.

It comes after a Brit woman was left fighting for her life after a horrific car crash on the popular holiday island Menorca, Spain.

The 59-year-old was rescued from the devastating crash in April.

She was admitted to intensive care at Mateu Orfila Hospital in the holiday hotspot’s capital Mahon after being rushed from the scene.

In November of last year, a tragic incident occurred involving two British golf tourists, who were “decapitated” when a speedboat, believed to belong to a suspected drug trafficker, became detached and collided with their vehicle on a motorway in Spain.

The speedboat reportedly came off its trailer, soared through the air at a speed of 120 km/h, and violently struck their Seat Leon while they were driving near the well-known resort of La Manga.
