According to the Daily Mail, police said the 26-year-old driver of the rare Koenigsegg Agera R crashed it into a sidewalk barrier in Chongqing, China while driving under the influence of alcohol.

The driver was detained by police after arriving on the scene.

The car's bumper and rear wheels were damaged.

"I suddenly heard a sports car roar, getting closer, and then a bang," said Huang Chunlong, the owner of a convenience store near the scene of the accident. "I went outside to see what it was and a car had rotated 250 degrees right in front of the sidewalk. The right wheel was knocked off, left lying in the road."

Many onlookers photographed the car after the accident.

The 1,140 horsepower supercar can be repaired, but Yahoo Autos said it would have to be shipped back to Sweden to do so.
