Driver writes off £170,000 Lamborghini after smashing supercar into lamp post

Shocking video footage has emerged which shows the moments after an £170,000 Lamborghini supercar smashed into a lamp post.

The Lamborghini Huracan was written off in the smash in the West Midlands.

Video footage shows a team of ten firefighters attempting to tow the supercar away.

The bonnet was smashed to pieces, knocking the pole sideways upon impact.

Multiple police cars are seen next to the fire engine as a crowd of onlookers gathered to see the carnage.

Eyewitnesses say the car was returning from a celebratory occasion.

One said the driver was returning from his sister's wedding when he crashed.

Firefighters said there were signs of burning but there are no reports of any injuries at the scene.

He said: "No ambulance was called to the scene of the crash so I assume the driver got away and nobody else was injured.

"I spoke to a female family member at the scene who looked very stressed and was talking on the phone.
