A 13-year-old and a friend decided to take an expensive car for a ride, and it did not end well.
West Vancouver police said on March 25 at about 11 p.m., officers were called to a single-vehicle collision on the Trans Canada Highway.
They found a Lamborghini Huracán in the ditch with no one inside.
They started a search for the driver and any passengers and with the vehicle owner’s help, they found out a 13-year-old had been driving the car.
“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,” Sgt. Chris Bigland with the West Vancouver police said.
“While significant property damage has been done, we are grateful that no one was hurt in the collision.”
Police tracked down the registered owner of the vehicle who had been selling the car and had handed over the keys to a 13-year-old, apparently unaware of their age and lack of driver’s license.
The teen has been charged under the Motor Vehicle Act with speeding, driving without due care, failing to remain at the scene of a collision, and driving with no driver’s licence.
According to Kelly Blue Book, the 2024 Lamborghini Huracán starts at US$249,865. It is not known what year the Lamborghini was that crashed in West Vancouver.
