Gold Coast man crashes Lamborghini into power pole

A 40-year-old man will be without his Lamborghini Murcielago after he crashed into a power pole at a local car wash – with witnesses claiming they saw him cleaning the luxury vehicle before driving off and allegedly losing control.

Police were notified of the incident which took place this week in Bundall – an inner-city Gold Coast suburb.

According to multiple reports, the driver behind the wheel was reportedly treated for minor injuries – while his Lamborghini Murcielago, worth upwards of $500,000 – was allegedly assessed as a write-off due to the extensive damage done to the body of the high-performance vehicle.

Police told media they allegedly believed the man wasn’t intentionally speeding but “[he] hit the wrong pedal – which caused [this] destruction to a local business.”

9News claimed the road was closed while the vehicle was towed away from the scene.

Authorities have not specified if the driver will be charged with the incident.
