Lambo Wrecks and Breaks in Half in Fort Worth, Texas
By Rob Einaudi
Editor-in-Chief
Pretty nasty wreck in Texas this weekend. Apparently the driver of this Gallardo lost control in the rain and slammed into a tree. Half the car continued some ways down the street. Somehow, no one was killed, though someone lost a foot. Two more pics after the jump, and you can see the rest over at Jalopnik.

daddygotmoney, you have got to be one of the dumbest people to ever post on the internet. ill leave it at that. without your parents money, you wouldnt last a single second on your own.

By the way, it was not raining, it was standing sprinkler water that had run across the road.
So Sad!

This was a rented car. Several friends that knew they could never afford a hot car got togather and rented it. The driver is in VERY bad shape, he will never be a normal person again. He was the only child of a very loving mom who is by his side day and night. He was a working man did airconditioning work I belive. He mada a poor choice and has severe consequences to pay for it. For all those that are so quick to judge I would like to find the driver that has never done anything that could have hurt someone, talked on cell phone driving, driving tired, everyone makes mistakes, this young man is paying a very high price for his. I would ask everyone with any empathy to say a prayer for this man’s mother. For those that are so quick to judge remember a saying about “glass houses.”
Speechless.....

MyDaddyGotMoney, you have to be one of the dumbest people to post on these forums, and trust me that says something. Good for you, you got to brag that your daddy has money, so does mine, good for you. The difference between me and you is I actually have a degree (multiple) an know that the person that wrecked the Lambo is a moron. Most likely this person DID loose their license because of reckless driving, reckless endangerment, among a large amount of other tickets they are sure to have gotten. Mini vans dont go that fast and people who drive them car about their car and dont do stupid shit (as often…). Ohhh yea, I doubt your heavy ass DB9 could even go fast enough to wreck this bad… they are kinda slow, hate to be the one to break it to you.

This was in north Fort Worth, in the Fossil Ridge area. I saw this car at a bar/restaurant in the area just before the crash. The owner was being an a-hole and parking sideways across a couple handicapped spots. Feel bad for the passenger, he may not have known what he was getting into.

I’m 22 and drive a DB9, no I can’t afford it, my Dad bought if for me for my University graduation, He’s rich and many of you are jealous. You don’t hear people at my country club talking about revoking poor people’s licenses when we see a mini van crashed. I don’t remember ever reading or hearing comments about money / class when we see photos of crashed tempo’s or caveliers. I would hazzard to guess that a larger proportion of “regular” people cars get crashed than your so called “rich” people cars. There are idiots in every class / race / gender / whatever let that be what it is. If I crash my Aston doing something stupid… it is likely I would do the same if i came from a middle class family and was driving a ford ranger. And to those of you making “rich” people comments… if you win the lottery or commercialize a brilliant idea that makes you milliions, are you going to automatically surrender your licenses? I think not… get over yourselves, don’t let your current lack of cash make you losers.

Bloody stupid idiot! What a waste of a car! Just proves to me rich people can’t drive to save themselves. They think they can do it all just cos they have money. Not so! They are dumber than us to be honest! Hope this stupid driver learns from this and hope other rich people wake up to this and get proper lessons, they have the money! We everyday middle class and low class income people have to pay for lessons and we struggle but we manage to get through and we drive better. So you stupid rich people need to do the same! $45 a lesson isnt going to hurt your bank balance like it hurts ours!!! WAKE UP! I got no respect for you rich people just cos u have money. Poor car!

Well, I heard the Civic he was street racing was pretty badass…once veetack kicked in, and he had NAWZ, so once he sprayed it a few times, the Lambo was finished.

The sad part is the passenger most likely is the one that lost their foot—they’re probably the reason the whole accident happend, hyping the driver into pushing the car to it’s limit (passenger) “lets see what this thing can do”—-ka pow—bang—boom!—(driver) “wowwwww my life is over i just threw away $150,000 in a recession”

It may have been a mistake or not have been but seriously my car in the ra.in won’t let me drive faster than 50 mph I’m getting passed by acuras and cavys that shouldn’t even be allowed on the road so he may have just not been used to the car so until everyone with something bad to say has driven a lambo in the rain they just need to shut up and feel sorry for the guy

He was probably racing a Supra and lost so crashed his Lambo into a tree out of sheer embarrassment.

Can’t say anything other than I’d rather have a C6 Z06. It accelerates faster, gets three times better gas mileage, and costs much less with the same amount of sex appeal.

what a retard first of all why would you out your hard earned lambo in danger by speeding in the rain on a dry day its all good but in the rain its hard to keep control of any car when its hydroplaning

Cap get over yourself. Supidity should be made fun of. If you have a lambo most likely it wasn’t just an accident. Even if it was I am still laughing cause that car has a serious traction control system that prevents sliding on roads unless you are going a rediculous speed. This guy just got unlucky and lost a couple hundred grand.

Last Friday night a Lamborghini Gallardo speeding through a rainy Fort Worth, Texas struck a tree and split in half when the driver lost control after hydroplaning across standing water. The violent accident left the passenger compartment smashed against the tree while the rear half of the car continued on, stopping yards away.
the guy was speeding

in all of the comments the unfortunate truth has been missed. where a wonderful car is destroyed, not once did the caption state that the driver was speeding. someone’s family member lost a foot because of this accident. rather than make fun of them, we should be thankful to have our own lives and limbs and celebrate safe and responsible driving

guess thats what you get when you think just because its a lambo you think you can go fast in any weather. can you say hydroplane.

Oct 28, 2008 at 7:06 pm
Okay, some of you retards are stupid. ANY car or truck can lose traction in the rain. All top end sports car are going to lack somewhere to keep the weight down, so duh they would rip apart when they hit something at 200mph. So in this case, it’s the driver. To those talking mess about Lamborghini building a stupid car, the Gallardo is WAY fast and can out handle your mommy’s Dodge Grand Caravan in every way imagineable.

Oct 28, 2008 at 5:56 pm
Seems like the driver was inexperienced at driving in the rain. Even Indy car drivers have done this. Seems with that much HP you can loose control very quickly, and the car will snap around and put you in the wall so to speak.
Maybe Lambo needs to install an inexperienced driver button. Just wish I had the chance to try one out. Maybe Obama’s spread the wealth idea will filter that down to me.

If ya got a car like that, maybe some parlor tricks at low speeds or maybe some more wide open and faster fun would be allright in a large empty parking lot… but it’s very likely this was just some dunderhead with big pockets and very little skill or common sense.
