I copied this from R32OC so sorry if its a repost on here
------------------------------------------------------------
The Police told me the fella was ok, but boy was he lucky. Peeler also said the car was only picked up today. Again, I cant confirm this but there you go.
Such a shame for the most beautiful car...but at least nobody as far as they could tell me was hurt.

Doesn't look that bad, cutting the roof off to get them out has made it worse.

The lad who owned only collected it from the dealership today and is in intensive care which is why the photos have been removed. Pretty sad tbh , not that the photos have been removed but the fact he only got it today and hes now seriously ill!

Just read the topic on R32OC Jamie, the driver was thought to be ok when it first happened as well.

Just at sprucefield mate.
17 and driving a Lambo My dad would never have let me drive a Lambo at 17 even if he could afford to insure me on it as I'd probably kill myself
Hope the lad gets well soon. Must be horrible getting your dream car then ending up like that.

Just read that the guy had a massive aneurism, which ruptured and subsequently caused him to crash so no speeding was involved.

Thats like 2 miles from my house. Saw on some website that the guy only had a 50/50 chance of surviving surgery.
Sad news.
