Default Totalled Gallardo on Key Biscayne

This morning I saw a horrific scene across from Crandon Park. Traffic was being diverted through the Crandon Beach parking lot while cops were on the main highway investigating / taking measurements, etc. Then as we were routed back on the highway, I saw why. There was a silver Lamborghini Gallardo crashed off the road ... with a tree right in the middle of it. It was almost as if the tree grew through the middle of the car. Both airbags were popped (of course). I don't see how the people inside would've made it. The front 3/4 of the car were crumpled like an aluminum can around the tree.

Anyone hear of this (or see it on the news)?

I had my digicam in the trunk, but the girl I was riding with wouldn't stop to let me take pics! We were kind of in shock with what we were seeing.

Wow seems like an epidemic here in florida. I just saw a galladro in a ditch in Fort Myers. I saw two old men walking away from it almost laughing while it was being towed out.

Saw a Carrera GT on the road yesterday... gorgeous sound, second only to a Ferrari, IMO. He got on it a bit while taking the sweeper onto the highway, lovely grumble coming from up ahead. Nice look to the carbon fiber tonneau back end.

KEY BISCAYNE

1 killed, 1 hurt in car crash


A passenger riding in a silver Lamborghini traveling at a high rate of speed was killed early Sunday when the driver lost control of the vehicle and crashed it into a tree on Crandon Boulevard near the village of Key Biscayne, Miami-Dade police said. They said the accident happened about 5 a.m. Sunday.

Police identified the victim, who died on the scene, only as a Hispanic male in his 30s. The driver, also identified as a Hispanic male in his 30s, was taken to Jackson Memorial's Ryder Trauma Center in Miami, where he remained in critical condition Sunday evening.

The crash occurred near the Crandon Golf Course across from the Crandon Park Tennis Center.

Miami-Dade police were investigating.
