Lamborghini crashes in 200km/h police pursuit after being clocked at double the speed limit

Photos have emerged of a $500,000 Lamborghini supercar that crashed out after leading police on a 200km/h pursuit in western Sydney last weekend.

The images – released today by NSW Police – show a Lamborghini Huracan V10 with severe damage to one side of the car.

The impact was so great, the airbags appear to have been deployed in the collision and two tyres popped off their rims.

Last Sunday, police officers attached to Liverpool Highway Patrol detected a white Lamborghini Huracan travelling "in excess of 150km/h in a posted 70km/h zone" on Cowpasture Road, which is a major arterial.

"Police attempted to stop the Lamborghini which further accelerated, reaching speeds of no less than 210km/h before crashing into two other motorists," said a statement on the NSW Police Traffic and Highway Patrol Facebook page.

"The driver and passenger both fled the scene on foot. The driver was located a short distance away following a foot pursuit, where he attempted to assault police in order to avoid apprehension. He was arrested and conveyed to hospital for minor injuries."

Police said the disqualified driver was charged with the following offences:

No further information was provided, but Drive understands the occupants of the other vehicles involved in the crash were not injured.

It is also unclear if drugs or alcohol were factors in the incident.

Senior highway patrol officers have previously told Drive that people who own fast cars don't necessarily know how to drive them.

"They like to say their expensive supercars are designed for these types of high speeds, but how do we know they don't have a 20-cent brain," one veteran highway patrol officer told Drive. "People who drive these cars are not above the law."
