Breaking down is never fun, but it’s even less fun when it happens in an expensive vehicle that’s designed to generate joy. However, a breakdown goes from “not fun” to downright scary when it happens on the highway, as a driver in China recently had the misfortune of learning.
In videos first shared to Weibo, a man can be seen standing next to a Lamborghini Huracan whose frunk is open. A bad enough situation already, it is only made worse by the fact that the car is stopped on a large, multi-lane, divided road with little to no shoulder.
Fortunately for the Lamborghini’s driver, there is a gap large enough between cars to allow him to run across the road, and away from the car. Unfortunately for other motorists, he can’t get the car off the road with him.
Although the stricken car was still able to flash its hazards, and the driver attempted to wave drivers away from the car while he was next to it, the unexpected danger of a car being stranded in the fast lane inevitably led to an accident.

An SUV, apparently unaware of the stopped Lamborghini, eventually rams into the back of the car. Identified as a Geely Xingyue L (a.k.a. Monjaro) by commenters, the SUV appears to make no effort to slow down before crashing into the back of the stopped sports car.
Predictably, the collision is extremely violent, sending the SUV spinning more than 360 degrees across three lanes, and causing fluids to spill all over the road. Meanwhile, the Huracan is launched forward by the force of the accident, crashing first into the highway median, and then shooting across to the right-hand lanes.
Although it resulted in a quite horrific accident, it is at least a blessing that the median was there to block the empty Lamborghini from launching into oncoming traffic. Meanwhile, a following Audi managed to slow down without also becoming involved in the accident.
Unfortunately, we do not know how the driver of the SUV fared following this incident. While it may be easy to question the decisions that led to the crash — such as why the Lamborghini’s driver didn’t pull over any further or coast to the other side of the road, and why the SUV’s driver didn’t see the approaching vehicle — we can only hope that everyone involved is okay.
