There are faster supercars than the Lamborghini Huracan, but the baby Italian exotic is still quick enough to outrun most cars you’re likely to encounter on a public road, including the ones driven by the boys in blue. But outrunning the cops when you’re using your feet, rather than a V10, having crashed your Huracan is a different matter entirely.
That’s what one UK driver discovered when he trashed a white Huracan LP610-4 on a damp two-lane British road at night while being followed ‘at a safe distance’ by cops. Images from the accident scene show the car nose-in to the roadside barrier having taken a huge hit to the rear driver’s side.
One of the wheels has been ripped from the axle, the aluminum rear quarter panel where the wheel used to live is a crumpled mess and the rear diffuser and lower bumper has been ripped away making you wonder what kind of awful damage the underside of the car – and potentially the engine and transmission – have suffered.

It sounds like the driver didn’t spent too much time hanging around the demolition zone to find out. Chesterfield Police initially reported that he’d fled the scene but when those same cops posted a couple of images of the ruined Lamborghini to social media they predicted that they’d track the getaway driver down.
‘Despite acceleration of 0-62 mph [100 kmh] in 2.9 seconds the power far outweighed the talent and it stopped as quickly,’ the cops wrote on X. ‘Driver made off but we will be catching up with them soon!’
And they did. In a later statement from the police picked up by the Daily Mail, officers said they’d nabbed two people on suspicion of driving offenses.
‘A woman in her 20s was arrested at the scene and a man in his 20s was arrested soon after,’ Chesterfield Police stated. ‘Both have been bailed pending further enquiries.’
It’s not clear why the driver felt the need to escape the police, whether he even knew they were following him before the crash, or whether he owned the car. But someone, somewhere has a big repair bill coming their way.
