YouTube influencer crashes Lamborghini Huracan in silly stunt
A YouTube influencer crashed his Lamborghini Huracan EVO into a chain link fence during an ill-planned stunt. The video, which quickly went viral with nearly 1.5 million views, shows a group of young people who seem more interested in social media fame than responsible car ownership.

The accident happened on what appeared to be private property or a deserted public road, as there were no other vehicles in sight. The influencer and her friends decided to test how fast they could drive a Lamborghini back and forth on the road. However, due to poor planning and a lack of basic safety precautions, the stunt quickly turned into a disaster.
The video shows the driver accelerating the Huracรกn at breakneck speed to cross a makeshift finish line, which consisted of just a few traffic cones. Unfortunately, the line was dangerously close to the edge of the road, leaving the supercar with very little room to slow down. Sure enough, the Lamborghini skidded off the tarmac and crashed into a chain-link fence.

After the accident, the vehicle was found to have sustained significant damage — the passenger side mirror was removed, the paint was severely damaged, part of the front splitter was destroyed, and the passenger side window appeared to be cracked. Repairs will likely cost a lot of money, potentially outweighing any profits from monetizing the video.
Adding to the absurdity of the situation, the driver was wearing racing gloves but no other safety equipment such as a helmet or harness — an oversight that further highlights the lack of seriousness and preparation shown towards this stunt.
