A Lamborghini accident sparks controversy
Driven by a 13-year-old unlicensed driver who disappeared but was recently caught
Supercars perform several times better than ordinary cars. Even people who have driven for a long time will likely be surprised when they drive a supercar for the first time. These days, supercars offer a variety of driving modes, making driving less complicated, but it is clear that it takes time to get used to them.
But what happens if an unlicensed teenager drives this supercar, especially on a rainy road? The results that one might imagine occurred. Recently, news broke in Canada that a 13-year-old unlicensed boy was caught hiding after causing an accident with a Lamborghini vehicle.
Fortunately, it was a single-car accident, and he was with a friend
At 11 p.m. on March 25 (local time), West Vancouver, Canada, police received a report that a single accident occurred on Highway 1. Police dispatched to the accident scene found a Lamborghini Huracán vehicle that had left the road and fallen into a ditch. The car was severely damaged, but surprisingly, the occupants were gone.
The police began a search to confirm the safety of the occupants of the accident vehicle and were soon able to find them. “With the cooperation of the vehicle owner, we were able to locate the occupants of the vehicle quickly,” “It is understood that the driver was a 13-year-old boy who was riding with a friend,” said Sergeant Chris Bigland of the West Vancouver Police Department.
Prosecution under current law
What is the fate of the accident vehicle?
And he added, “The teenager and his friend decided to take the car for a night drive, but were unable to control the car in the dark and rainy conditions,” he said. “Although there was significant property damage, it is fortunate that no one was injured in the collision.” The 13-year-old boy who caused the accident was charged with speeding, reckless driving, leaving the scene of an accident, and driving without a license, according to local laws. It is not known what the relationship between the owner of the accident vehicle and the boy was.
Meanwhile, the fate of the Lamborghini Huracán, damaged in the accident, is unclear. The accident photos show that the front part, including the front bumper, headlamp, fender, and bonnet, was extensively damaged. The side mirrors and side skirts were also damaged, and damage to the rear side was also noticeable. Depending on the repair estimate, there seems to be a significant possibility that the vehicle will be scrapped.
The Huracán’s performance is this good
The price is about 450,000 CAD
The Huracán is Lamborghini’s entry-level supercar launched in 2014. Various derivative models have been created over the past ten years and are scheduled to be discontinued this year. Equipped with a 5.2L V10 naturally aspirated engine, even as an initial model, it delivers powerful performance with a maximum output of 610 horsepower and a maximum torque of 57.1kgf.m. It takes only 3.2 seconds to reach 100 km/h, and the top speed is 325 km/h (202 mph).
Nevertheless, the Huracán is generally considered a supercar with a relatively low risk of accidents due to its four-wheel drive specifications. Since safety devices such as traction and stability control are activated by default, slipping on a rainy road is difficult unless drivers arbitrarily disable or drive excessively. The price of the vehicle involved in the accident is known to be 450,000 CAD.
