Smashed Lamborghini brings Park Lane to a halt

A Lamborghini Murcielago gave Park Lane commuters a nightmare last night after being involved in an incident.
These photos show the £220,000 supercar ground to a halt in the posh part of London with several alloy panels ripped clean from the body.
The bonnet, front bumper and passenger's door of the left-hand drive Lambo are also seriously damaged with the passenger's airbag activated. No one was injured in the Monaco-registered car.
We're unsure what happened for the wheel to come off the Murcielago, but it is the latest Lambo to be seriously damaged this year.
Earlier this month a groom was driving a Murcielago LP640 Roadster to his wedding when the back end came out on a roundabout and the car flipped 360 degrees through the air. Fortunately David Gallucci and his best man Warwick French were unhurt.
But a far more serious incident involving a Lamborghini took place in Switzerland on Thursday last week. The Murcielago - which is thought to have been driven by a 22-year-old Russian - was in convoy with a Bugatti Veyron, Mercedes McLaren SLR and Porsche Cayenne Turbo along Lake Geneva. It was involved in a collision with a VW Golf, seriously injuring the Volkswagen's 70-year-old driver.
In April FIVE Murcielagos went to supercar heaven including two in Russia. June saw a Lamborghini Gallardo go up in smoke in Greece with another flaming Lamborghini gutted by fire in Peterborough.
