Driver dies in Lamborghini crash on the 101

WOODLAND HILLS - A motorist died in a speeding Lamborghini that came off the Ventura (101) Freeway, overturned and burst into flames on Burbank Boulevard today, a California Highway Patrol officer said.

A lime-green 2008 Lamborghini veered off the westbound side of the freeway near Shoup Avenue and came to rest against a parking structure in the 22100 block of Burbank just after 2:30 a.m., according to CHP Officer Francisco Villalobos and a CHP sergeant who spoke to a Newsreel camera crew at the scene.

The Lamborghini took at least a 30-foot drop, and cleared a six-foot chain link fence before crashing, an RMG News camera crew reported. Also set ablaze was a parked car that was struck in the parking structure, RMG reported.

"It appears to be a solo-vehicle accident at this time," he said.

The driver's name was withheld until his next of kin could be notified.

The handmade Italian cars are known for their brawn. Most models are two-seaters with high-performance, 12-cylinder engines and cost more than $100,000.

From what I've heard, this is correct. He was Iranian, who lived with his mom. Guess he came from lots of money, mom didn't want him to have the car. Supposedly kept it at Calabasas Lambo so his mom wouldn't know he bought it.

And it was a LP560, one week old.
