According to the police, the crash was caused by the driver of a slow-
moving Seat Ibiza who emerged without looking from a service
station, clipping the Lamborghini and sending the vehicle swerving
into the parked cars.
The front end of the Lamborghini was crushed in the accident, near
Cremona, and the driver and a passenger were injured, although
not seriously.
The Lamborghini Gallardo, worth £130,000 and capable of reaching
62mph in four seconds, was one of a pair donated by the Italian
manufacturer to the police to do battle on Italy's roads, where 1 million
motorists are injured annually and 4,731 died last year. The new Gallardo
LP560-4 Polizia, which replaces the previous Gallardo in use by the
Italian police force since 2004 has a 560 horsepower engine that
can reach speeds of up to 203 mph.
