Khan wrecks his £90K Mercedes after ‘aquaplaning’ on motorway
Amir Khan has crashed his £90,000 Mercedes after losing control on the M6.
The 33-year-old boxer said the crash was “like being hit with a combo” when the Merc slid uncontrollably on the wet road and smashed into a barrier.
In photographs shared of the crash, millionaire Khan’s S350 can be seen badly smashed with its front bumper hanging off.
The hood can also be seen jutting up, while the back of the car is also badly damaged after the smash on the M6 southbound between junctions 12 and 13 last night.
Sharing the shocking pictures, the Bolton-born boxer wrote on Instagram: “Thank God everyone is safe.
“A scary experience. Car lost control on the motorway #aquaplane.

“Smashing into the side of motorway barrier felt like being hit with a combo!”
The mangled car can be seen with its lights still flashing on the wet road in the video shared by Khan this morning.
It is not clear who was in the car with Khan at the time of the crash.
Khan has an impressive super-car collection, and already owns a £271,000 Lamborghini Aventador, a £233,000 Rolls Royce Phantom and a £65,000 Range Rover.
He also recently revealed he was thinking of spending £264,000 on another Rolls Royce to add to his collection.
Five years ago, he bought a Mercedes S63 but last night’s crash appears to have involved a new Merc, the S350.
It’s not the first time Khan has faced drama with his luxury cars.
In 2012, a gang of armed yobs tried to steal his £100,000 Range Rover.
On top of that, the Bolton-born boxer has revealed he’s called in the lawyers to probe the alleged mismanagement of a wedding venue he’s building in his home town.
And he also said a new team was on board to finish his stalled wedding venue and lawyers were investigating the ‘mess-up’.
The former unified light-welterweight world champion wrote on his Twitter account last month: “Current cost £11.4m.
“Hurtful. I’ve been f***** over somewhere. My money is blood money and to be treated like this is very hurtful.”
The Brit boxer rose to fame after claiming silver at the 2004 Athens Olympics.
He is also a former unified light-welterweight world champion, having held the WBA (later Super) title from 2009 to 2012, and the IBF title in 2011.
He is married to Faryal Makhdoom and has three kids.
