However, the driver of the Lamborghini, seemingly unfazed by the conditions, lost control after hitting a large patch of water, resulting in the vehicle colliding with a roadside barrier. The impact caused significant damage to the car’s front bumper, steering, and wheels.
Eyewitness reports suggest that after the crash, the driver abandoned the severely damaged vehicle on the A2. Friends of the driver reportedly arrived shortly after to pick him up. Fortunately, the driver did not sustain any injuries in the incident.
The responsibility of recovering the abandoned Lamborghini fell to Highways England. The scene caused significant disruption on the A2, leading to traffic delays as the recovery operation was underway.
Kent Police, when approached for a statement, highlighted the importance of adhering to road safety warnings, especially during adverse weather conditions. They also confirmed that an investigation into the incident is ongoing, and appropriate actions will be taken based on their findings.
This incident serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of ignoring road safety warnings, especially during inclement weather. The driver now faces not only a massive repair bill but also potential legal consequences for his actions.
