Hyundai drives OVER £250,000 Lamborghini after smashing into supercar at junction

A car smashed into a £250,000 Lamborghini - and proceeded to drive over the supercar.

The bizarre smash happened at 10.24am at a junction in Leeds, West Yorkshire, when the pricey supercar collided with a four-door saloon.

The driver of the moderately priced Hyundai i40 had came out at speed and made a right turn.

But the motorist did not see the the white Lamborghini Huracan Performante which travelled in its direction.

After bumping the front of the vehicle in yesterday's crash, the four-door family saloon car continued driving over its bonnet as if it was not there.

It resulted in the Hyundai finally coming to a halt on the bonnet of the supercar.

Photos taken from the scene of the smash show the expensive white convertible wedged under the body of the modestly priced family car.

The wheels of the Hyundai only just missed crushing the driver as it smashed the front of the convertible.

The Hyundai is seen on top of the hood precariously balancing as the two vehicles are jammed together and the Lamborghini is wedged underneath.

A further piece of footage is taken from the road and shows how bad the damage from the smash is.

West Yorkshire Police later confirmed that no one was seriously injured in the smash, but the front of the Lamborghini looked visible deformed under the weight of the other car.

A spokesperson for the force said: "At 10.24am (yesterday), police were called to a road traffic collision involving a Lamborghini and a Hyundai at the junction of Whitehall Road and Dixon Lane in Leeds.

"There were no serious injuries."

In March, The Mirror reported how another Lamborghini driver crashed a £150,000 vehicle into a car wash.

The luxury sports car was seen in a crumpled mess after smashing into the side of the shop unit and smashing the property's windows.

The accident happened in Shoreditch, East London, leaving the red Lamborghini Huracan in a sorry state.

People in the area reported hearing a "loud bang similar to an "engine revving" before the smash.

The area was taped off by a police cordon and the loud crash left the luxury car completely wrecked.

Eyewitnesses then said: "I only heard it, but the guy was revving his engine then there was a loud bang, sounded a bit like the car backfired, but it’s clearly where he lost control and ditched it into the doors.

"Happened a couple of hours ago and I saw the damage when I went or get lunch."
