No serious injuries after rented Lamborghini crashes in Red Rock
The driver of a rented Lamborghini is doing fine after a rollover crash on state Route 159, the Nevada Highway Patrol said.
The 2012 Spyder model? Not so much.
Troopers were called to the highway in Red Rock Canyon about 6 p.m. It wasn't immediately clear what happened, but NHP trooper Loy Hixson said the rented high-end Italian car, which even at 3 years old can cost more than $180,000, went off the road and overturned.
A damage estimate wasn't available. Hixson said the man driving the car was up and walking around after the crash.
The driver told a Review-Journal photographer at the scene that he is from Texas, but did not give his name. He apparently told troopers he was going 120 mph and was thrown from the car during the crash, landing in the dirt.
NHP declined to identify the man.
