The iconic American motor was left severely damaged after a ‘grandpa’ allegedly opened his car door whilst she was driving past.
The shocking crash took place on 12 Jun, with the vehicle needing to be towed away, as reported by Need To Know.
The right front side of the car was heavily damaged with the wheel arch shattered and the wing mirror hanging off.
Fortunately, the influencer managed to escape the crash unharmed claiming she suffered ‘no injuries’ in the crash.
Leah Ray stated: “I have just crashed my car in America.
“First time driving in the USA and this man opened his door on me.
“Stay safe if you’re out here for the World Cup who knows what could happen, luckily I’m able to tweet about this with no injuries.”
The crash has come just days into her dream World Cup trip – that has not got off to the best of starts.
Leah claimed that she has also been handed two separate parking tickets since arriving in LA.
The model allegedly parked ‘facing wrong direction of traffic’ which left her with a £47 ($63) fine.
She also claimed to be handed a £50 ($68) fine for parking in a towing bay.
Her loyal fans were left gutted for the Brit abroad.
One person said: “Damn you have not had any luck with driving here in the states.”
Another person added: “Oh no, at least you’re physically ok.”
One other person said: “Hate driving in cities.”
One person added: “Did you get the insurance to cover this? If not, your headaches have just begun.”
Another person said: “Two tickets and an accident. Your license is about to get pulled.”
This dream journey from London to the USA was one that at first Leah didn’t think she’d be able to afford.
The model, who has over 176,000 followers, made numerous attempts to fund the trip, even attempting to flog her Ferrari.
Despite claiming she was ‘willing to do anything’ to get to the World Cup, the offer of her luxury motor the sale never went though.
The Brits chances of getting over to the states for what could be the most expensive World Cup ever looked slim – until her fans got involved.
A jaw-dropping £40,630 ($54,580) was raised by her subscribers to get her out to the tournament.
The influencer will be hoping to follow her beloved England all the way to the final.
Thomas Tuchel’s Three Lions side will be kicking off their World Cup in front of Leah and thousands of other England fans in the Dallas Stadium, Arlington, Texas on 17 Jun.
She said: “$54,580 raised for my World Cup trip
“Going to have the best time ever, thank you to everyone that’s supported my work over the years.”
