Joyrider wrecks rapper's Lamborghini
Before you leave your car in the hands of a towing company, you may want to hear about the fate of a R3.75-million Lamborghini. An employee couldn't keep his hands off the supercar and ended up 'wrapping' it around a tree.
An example of what can go horribly wrong when you leave your car with someone else for 'safekeeping'.
A man responsible for demolishing an American rap artist's Lamborghini Diablo during an unauthorised spin has been arrested and will spend Christmas in jail for his expensive joyride.
The Lamborghini, belonging to rap star Missy Elliott, was stolen from a towing firm by an employee. The alleged joyride ended just 5km from the company's headquarters, where the culprit worked as a dispatcher.
The man apparently lost control of the supercar and mowed down a speed limit sign before slamming into a tree. He has since been charged with reckless driving, hit-and-run, grand larceny and driving while being a habitual offender. He is now being held in a local jail pending a hearing on January 22.
Damage to the vehicle was initially estimated to be worth $161 000 (R1.95-million), but the cost of repairs now appears to exceed the Lamborghini's value of $311 000 (R3.75-million).
