Lamborghini ‘joyride’ by 13-year-old ends in total write off: West Vancouver police

Apr 3, 2024 | 1:15 PM

VANCOUVER — Police in West Vancouver say a “joyride” by a 13-year-old in their parents’ Lamborghini set off a single-vehicle crash that resulted in a total write-off by the insurance company. 

Police say in a news release issued Wednesday that they were called to a report of a crash last week and found the Lamborghini Huracan badly damaged in a ditch. 

No one was at the scene, so officers began a search to ensure those inside during the crash weren’t hurt. 

Police say that with the co-operation of the vehicle’s owner, they were able to promptly locate the 13-year-old driver, who confessed to taking a friend along for the ride. 

The youth also admitted to being unable to control the car in the dark and rainy conditions.
