WEST VANCOUVER — Mounties in West Vancouver say a 13-year-old crashed a Lamborghini sports car last week, resulting in multiple charges against the underage driver and the humiliation of a written-off sports car.

According to a news release from the department, West Van police say they responded on Monday evening, March 25 at approximately 11 p.m. to the report of a single collision on Highway 1. Once on scene, police located a Lamborghini Huracan in a ditch with no inside the sports car.

“Officers began an exhaustive search to ensure the well-being of the driver and any passengers,” said Sergeant Chris Bigland. “With the cooperation of the vehicle owner we were able to promptly locate and interview occupants of the car who were uninjured.”

Police later determined that a 13-year-old had been driving the vehicle.

“The youth and a friend decided to take the car for a drive but were unable to control the car in the dark and rainy conditions. While significant property damage has been done, we are grateful that no one was hurt in the collision” said Bigland. “The driver has been charged under the Motor Vehicle Act with speeding, drive without due care, fail to remain at the scene of a collision, and driving with no drivers license.”

The price of a new Lamborghini Huracan is estimated at well over $250,000 Canadian.
