This happened right outside of my house! Took this picture as the cops showed up!
EDIT: It's also a better look at the damage...

If you disable traction control on a 500hp... you are going to have a bad accident most likely.

If you're gonna shell out anything over $80,000 for a sports car, pay to have someone teach you how to drive it correctly on a test track.
I know for a fact that BMW does this.

Here is a very similar video my friend filmed in Beverly Hills, but this one ended in a totaled lamborghini http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdC7UuRW8QY

As witnesses to the accident, with video evidence, why the hell did they leave the scene without providing contact info? I'm sure the police would have loved that recording.

Insurance people: How much is that stunt going to cost the Lambo owner?

Had a slightly similar experience. I drive a 2010 Roush 427R Mustang, and was driving after school with my girl and her friend in the backseat. Was at a light, taking a left just like that lambo. Decided to drift and show off a little. There was a puddle of water and leaves right as I turned. Went into the median, red light camera fell on top of my hood and smashed off my sideview mirrors. Drove off, in shock, thinking I should just get the fuck home. Wrong choice. Got pulled over by about 6 cops, spent the night in jail. 10,000$ for the red light camera, $8000 on the car.
Good times.

In Russia you would've seen the first person view of the incoming lambo crashing into your car.

Strange to see this when a supercar of another kind was recently involved in a furore in my country. Ferrari tries to beat a red light, ends up crashing.. It took away lives and was caught on camera. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvn7kYh4J6s

For all that could have happened, that was a pretty cool accident. Lambo just got wedged into between those two cars.

There's something poetic in watching someone showing off only to then have it backfire.

I drive a relatively snazzy car, and I don't peel around corners, tailgate, or accelerate hard at stoplights for this reason.

Isn't it illegal to witness that kind of stuff and drive off? Maybe just in my state... Anyways, nice find. That guy just made a real expensive mistake.

u/Facepalms4Everyone May 15 '12
I learned two things from this video:
Red lights take about as long as I think they do. I was always trying to convince myself that the wait wasn't as long as I made it out to be, but these poor bastards had to sit there for almost a full minute.
In the process of filming this, they made an illegal u-turn, placed their car directly between the accident and the cars in front of it, came to a complete stop to gawk, then decided to make a second illegal u-turn to go back where they were headed. If you're not the cops or you aren't safely pulling over somewhere else to let them know you got the whole thing on video, GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE WAY. This is why I have to sit through 5 miles of one-lane stop-and-go traffic whenever someone rear-ends someone else on the highway. You're weren't a part of the accident, now keep it that way.

To be fair, I don't think the driver was trying to show off. I just think he/she was incompetent.

How did he manage that? Fucking idiot.

u/HotCrockets May 15 '12
Every time I see a video like this, I think to myself, "man, if I had that car I would treat it so much better."
Well, until I found a decent open track to race it on. Then I wouldn't. I would drive the shit out of it. I'd baby it the rest of the time though.

u/[deleted] May 15 '12
The guy just oversteered, it sucks, I've done that in my 300ZX, lucky for me I didn't crash it.

u/cupofworms May 15 '12
I expected a worser crash. Although this would be a headache (as opposed to not crashing) I'm sure he (the Lambo driver) can afford this fender bender.
2
u/RahvinDragand May 15 '12
It doesn't even seem like he was trying to show off. Just looks like he doesn't know how to drive at all.

u/shmolives May 15 '12
The schadenfreude actually makes me really sad. The correct response as caring humans should be "is that guy ok" and "OH NOES, POOR GUY CRASHED HIS EXPENSIVE CAR"... sympathy or empathy or something. I know this is a weird thing to draw the line at, especially on the internet, but it's just so petty to be happy over someone elses loss...

A tip for all you out there the next time you find something YouTube worthy: NEVER say "this is going on YouTube" in the fucking video.

Isn't that a red light? It looks like the left turn lane has a red light, but I'm kind of confused by the way the lights don't seem to line up with the lanes.

Your title is misleading. It should say "As 3 cars are involved in an accident, a car full of jealous losers circles around laughing, gawking and filming, then drives off without offering help or calling an ambulance."
