Lamborghini Gallardo Crash In Cape Town – South Africa
Miscellaneous | Dean | August 9, 2009 at 21:12Recently a few people we know here in South Africa caught images of a crashed Lamborghini Gallardo. Although supercars probably crash all the time without photos being taken, we thought that this was more a special event as we don’t see many crashed supercars down here.
The accident happened in Cape Town, which is on the bottom point of Africa, and we’re expecting it to have happened because of the bad weather. During the period of the accident there were various bad storms occurring, and the wet roads were a problem.
In the images the roads to not seem to look that wet, which makes us almost question the drivers judgment. We have no news on how the accident occurred, but we’re expecting that the driver either lost control in the wet, or just wasn’t paying attention when he went off the road, up a pavement and hit an electricity box on the one side of the car.
You can see the power box damaged the Gallardo quite significantly, especially at the back end, and with the back wheel.
A couple of hours later another image of the Gallardo was snapped in central Cape Town where it was on a flat bed, obviously on the way to a workshop.
It was said that everyone in the accident was uninjured.

Looks like an expensive crash to me. Probably the most expensive crash in S.A’s recent history? We had a Lambo totaled here in India last year in Mumbai.
Nah,
Lolly Jackson, the guy that owns like all of the strip clubs around here totaled his Lambo when he drove it off of a pass.
He now owns the SL 65 AMG Black Series.. In red. Lucky ;-(
Will be pretty expensive though.
dude the lambo crashed of the pass XXX-WP belonged to adult world not to lolly.
It looks like a nasty knock to the rear suspension. Unfortunate, but in the greater scheme of things, if you can afford a R3 million supercar, you can probably afford a repair bill of 10%.
I rate there was a lot of underlying damage to this. The rear axle looks pretty rocked. It’s a all wheel drive model, so who knows what else it effects in the transmission and also the drivetrain?
Then there is the suspension and and braking system as well.. Hmm :<
Blaming ‘wet roads’ isn’t a valid reason. A driver should consider road conditions and drive at an appropriate speed.
Well, I just thought that wet roads might be a reason. However, I cannot guarantee or clarify that as a reason.
There doesn’t seem to be any other reason as to why this would happen.
It seems like quite an excluded area, I am not sure.
I do however totally agree with you when driving on wet roads, although this can be said on any road. You should always drive the appropriate speed according to the road condition and of course… the speed limit..
