Driver in Stolen Lamborghini Huracan Crashes During High-Speed Police Pursuit in L.A.
Car CrashWow. That video is crazy. He died like a b*tch with his pants down.
Good thing the only thing (that’s worth a damn) that got hurt here was the car. He is getting absolutely bombed on the comment section of his memorial website.
Don't forget the tree.
I feel bad for the dude who owned the Lambo.
I don’t. I feel bad for the people whose cars got fucked by flying debris. They might only have the minimum insurance while Lambo bro has to have full coverage.
Stop assuming. Based on your logic the lamb owner could have partial insurance and everyone else full cover. All vehicle owners here are victims silly
Fair enough, but I’m pretty sure any bank you use to buy the Lambo would force you to carry full coverage unless you pay cash, but then you have enough money to get full coverage and it would only make sense.
Edit: no they don’t. That’s only if you lease it and that’s only some banks. I’m an idiot.
I personally know two guys with huracans that only have liability coverage because full coverage is an additional 3K per month
That’s like the most “ballin on a budget” thing I’ve heard. Unless there’s a good reason for just getting liability insurance.
Source: Trust me bro
You’re right, I’m wrong. I was thinking of leasing the car, not buying it.
Blah blah blah i hate rich people
That’s stupid. I don’t hate rich people. But they don’t feel the hardship of loosing a car as much as regular folk, let alone poverty stricken families.
so if someone offered you a large sum of money, you'd decline it?
Feel bad for all the people who’s cars were damaged from debris or the trees or the people who lost sleep to the noise.
No need to feel bad for someone who spends money on a Lamborghini.
So whats the cut off for you? if they have a toyota you feel bad/ what about a BMW? what about a cadillac? It seems like you feel bad for others as long as they aren't doing better than you in life
Lambo is that fully insured and if it’s not the owners deserve the loss. It’s a business asset.
Their fine. And it’s just a car.
It’s not going to impede them getting to work, buying groceries or picking up kids.
because going to work, buying groceries, and picking up kids are the only noble things in life? What if the guy is a heart surgeon and this is how he chooses to entertain himself from a high stress job. honestly your take is daft and shallow. In that case, anyone less fortunate than you can sit there and justify why it doesn't matter if something bad happens to your car.
We know nothing of the owner of the Lamborghini or the nature of which the car was stolen from them. What if it was at gunpoint? What if the perp broke into the persons house to steal the keys?
For you to say “no need to feel bad” for the person that very well may have experienced something pretty traumatic and then to say you feel bad for the people that lost a bit of sleep due to the noise is a fucking wild world view.
Dude who cares about what either of you strangers are talking about, it’s not worth the thumb movement
Get over yourself
Trash take
He would've had a better chance in a regular car.
Rocked him like a Huracan.
the infamous sherman way potholes got him
the fact that it took them that long to find him was suspenseful
That guy dead.
Wipe yourself off man, you bleeding.
When the officer walked up to half the car and checked all around and he was like “he’s not here but this is only uh… half the car”
Damn, he wrecked that Huracan good.
full split, damn
Based on some google searching, it looks like he was previously shot 6 times back in 2007 by Torrance police while hiding under a car to avoid arrest. He was convicted after that arrest for forgery and fraud, but since he was unarmed when the cops shot him, he got a $300k settlement.

Also looks like his dad passed away last year.
If I had to guess, the Lambo probably started out as a rental but maybe he kept it past the due date so it was reported stolen.
Reminds me of that semi recent "homeless serial killer" who got a huge settlement ($700k) from Santa Monica after a city vehicle ran him over at the beach a few years ago. He went on to kill four people during a shooting spree that lasted 48 hours.
Holy shit. One of the Torrance officers that shot Elliott Eli Dugan in 2007 was recently convicted of multiple felony counts and sentenced to 27 years in prison.

that's a first
2 different examples of guys ruining their life with main character syndrome
Ejecto seato cuz
the bad guy from that film has yet to return again. cole hauser.
The look on that cops face at the end like, “fuckkkkk….”
Can’t blame him. Bro was probably just a mushy pile.
His memorial page is crazy with the comments people are leaving on it, especially since his wife is in there.
Don't leave us hanging where's the link?
edit: found memorial link? Is this it?
Rest in Pieces.
This guy was 51 years old and stealing cars?
51!
Non returned Rental
Yeah, which is called stealing. In case he didn't know that, the police calmly told him that before he then fled in a stolen Lamborghini at high speed into a tree.
At 51 years old.
Surprised there’s no GundFundMe
Ahahahahaha. Very good.
I wasn't sure if it was against the tos as some subreddits don't allow it but yep that's the one.
Those comments are fucked.
I'd say it's more fucked to go stealing and then speeding through residential streets potentially killing other people.
I agree, but a dude just died. It would be so easy to just not mock them while they're greiveing.
There’s racist comments in there, too. People are awful.
Pretty funny lol
Nothing crazy about it. Well the racist comments were. Any ways, fuck that guy. Only thing of value that was lost is the Lambo
That was actually a pretty fascinating interaction before it got wild. According to this quora, the driver was wrong about their right to not leave the car.
Of course he was wrong. He was wanted on multiple felony warrants and the vehicle itself was stolen.
No tears for this scumbag. But it was still interesting to see. I was pretty sure he was wrong when I was watching it, but at the same time it’s also the case in recent years with all these horrible police stops gone awry (eg Sandra Bland) that people have brushed up on their rights when the police stop you, and there’s even the “Mobile Justice” app to help with this. Obviously the police can arrest people that they stop but the question I wasn’t quite sure about is whether they can make you get of your car without telling you why. I mean, let’s say you’re a black driver in the south in a perfectly legal vehicle and did nothing wrong, and a cop pulls you over and tells you to get out of the vehicle without giving a reason — do you have to? You might genuinely fear for your safety. (Guessing you do have to get out though.) In any case, it was only when the officer finally dropped the word “stolen” that the guy started planning his getaway.
Sandra Bland happened nearly a decade ago but yeah I see your point.
My guess is that if the cop had told him right off the bat that he's under arrest for driving a stolen car, and has multiple felony warrants out for his arrest, the assumption is that he's going to flee and lead cops on a dangerous a high speed pursuit.
So the alternative is to attempt to get him out of the car first with some social engineering and then cuff him while he's out of the vehicle. Then they can explain why he's under arrest.
The problem in this case is that the suspect had already made up his mind that he was going to run. And now he's dead.
And if someone is deathly afraid of the police, shouldn't they just follow the simple commands instead of making things 10x more dangerous for themselves?
Maybe, just maybe, he thought..."hmm, quick chase, little fender bender, a few injuries and I will sue this PD for another 300k."
Here’s an interesting recent case (from the deep south state of California, to boot) where luckily no one ended up injured and IMO justice was ultimately served. My only point is it’s hard to write laws and regulations that can adequately deal with entire spectrum of “blatant stolen lambo” as well as “innocently sitting in a parking lot while black.” https://youtu.be/3sTh--DfYzI
here’s an article of someone following orders and dying for it
not excusing the dude in the video, but there’s a non zero chance you’ll just die even if you follow orders

LPT: The majority of traffic stops that go wrong are because of people not complying with the cop's orders. Whether the officer is right or wrong, the place to fight them is in the courtroom. In the street, they have you outnumbered and they will use force. You may be right, they may be wrong, but either way you are ending up in handcuffs and if you fight you may get injured or even killed in the process. On top of that, if you are wrong, now there are additional charges stacked against you. If you feel your rights have been violated, sue the PD afterward.
I'm not a cop, I'm just someone who knows how to pick and choose their battles.
Sandra Bland:
A Houston television station states it obtained a voice message left by Bland after her arrest in which she asked, "How did switching lanes with no signal turn into all of this?"
Because you refused an officers instructions and refused to get out of the car. So force was used to get you out of the car. This is how it is supposed to work. Just get out of the car, be polite, and ask if you are being detained.
You are not going to convince the cop you know the law better than they do and that you can ignore them and sit there. Maybe you are actually right (unlikely) but tell it to the Judge, not the cop. Because force will, and should be, used to make you exit. If suspects are able to do what they want, police work is impossible.
Especially if you are unstable, like Ms. Bland, who hung herself in jail.
Dude, of course he was wrong.
I can't believe anybody even thinks for a moment he was right.
If you are today's youth and are surprised that you cannot sit in your car when the police tell you to exit, then today's youth is lacking education.
Please see my longer response. What I was wondering is if there was any established legal doctrine as to whether, in a standard traffic stop, they can require you to exit your vehicle without stating a reason. The interesting part in the quora answer was the pointer to this Supreme Court case. Doesn’t address that exact question, but I learned something nonetheless.
It is interesting. The case you cited deals with probable cause and "fruits of the poison tree" (the exclusion of evidence improperly obtained by police).
This case involves neither of those issues.
People v. Mimms is the S. Crt case that establishes the police can require you to exit your vehicle without telling you why:
Yes, the police can legally order you to exit your vehicle during a traffic stop without providing a specific reason. This is based on the Supreme Court case Pennsylvania v. Mimms, which ruled that officers can order drivers out of their vehicles for any reason during a lawful traffic stop, as a safety precaution. The key points are:
Police do not need probable cause or reasonable suspicion to order you out of the vehicle during a routine traffic stop. They can do so for any reason or no reason at all.
You are obligated to comply with the officer's order to exit the vehicle. Refusing to do so can lead to arrest for failure to obey a lawful order. The officer does not have to provide a justification or explanation for ordering you out of the car. Officer safety is considered a sufficient reason. This applies even if you inform the officer you have a legal firearm in the vehicle or a concealed carry permit. The officer can still order you out as a precaution.
So in summary, while it may seem unusual or unjustified, the Supreme Court has ruled that officers have broad discretion to order drivers and passengers out of a vehicle during a traffic stop without needing to provide a specific reason. Refusing such an order is illegal, even if the officer doesn't explain their rationale.
Ah thanks for the case correction, similar names there. Great info!
it's better not to tempt fate with the armed extension of state power that can kill you for any reason.
it's better not to tempt fate with the armed extension of state power.
This part is true. Why provoke a violent response from the police?
that can kill you for any reason.
This part is absurd. Escalation increases the chances of violence, but cops are not free to blast for no reason. Don't put yourself in a situation to be blasted -- tell it to the Judge.
It isn't absurd. Are you blind?
What law says "state power can kill you for any reason"?
The only instance of cops blasting a compliant suspect was the poor guy who was forced to crawl down a hallway and his shorts slipped. He tried to pull them up, and was murdered.
Real life GTA
Naturally he had no back license plate
Multiple felony warrants too.
What a rare occurrence
Handed over his driver license before trying to flee apparently
It was a stolen vehicle
A lot of high price cars I’ve seen have none and the windows are blacked out all around
What does in LA
Normal people
I’ve never seen any other area so heavily saturated with no plate cars. Especially the ultra wealthy
Yeah, I think no plates is some sort of idiot status symbol for idiots driving around in idiot status symbol cars
Idk what the reason but I see it a ton in LA everytime I’m there.
Not always nefarious like this probably, but in the midwest for instance you need a front plate AND back one, and I’ve gotten trouble for no front plate, so to see them not use any at all is wild.
He got ripped apart. Ugh
lmfao
He dead.
He was thrown so far from the car they could have charged him with fleeing the scene of the crime.
bruh
WASTED
They requested a backup air unit before approaching again, wow! They already knew what the night was.
Hey my older brother was killed as an innocent bystander in a police chase like this when I was 9 also on Sherman Way. I’m glad this piece of shit is dead and no one else was hurt!
Definitely a fast ride when you can go from 0 - DEAD in several seconds.
Love it when garbage takes its self out
Seriously. Just about an ideal conclusion all things considered.
I feel bad for the tree, though.
What about the lambo, its got feelings too
Idiott Dugan 😭
I guess you really don't want to crash one of these. It's just a V10 in a fancy paper bag.
Not many cars are meant to withstand 113 mph into a tree
Is the vehicle in park?
In park?? I was taught that if you get pulled over you throw the keys on the dashboard. 🤷🏻♀️
This is true for us who are older. Some of the younger guys have probably only driven keyless cars with push button starts. So technically, them putting their keys on the dash or on top of their car isn't going to do anything.
Omg I hadn't even considered that. 😂
Truth be told, I only realized it some years ago while getting pulled over. I put my car keys out my window and onto the roof of my car. After the encounter, I was asked why I did that. I have multiple reasons why I do it, but one of the reasons is to give the officer peace of mind that I have no intention of evading. However when I said that, I realized I don't even need to have a key inserted to start my car. I still put my keys up though, either on my dash or my roof.
As a kid we were taught that if you don't want to get shot or have your ass beaten by the cops when pulled over, have your window down, engine off, keys on the dash, dome light on if its night time and hands on the wheel. Also, avoid rapid movements; tell the cop what you are doing, i.e., "My license is in my glove box; I will open it up and get it."
Basically, you don't know what is going through the cop's mind. They could be mellow, or they could think you might pull a weapon on them. You don't have to be nice to them, but you are trying to let them know that you are not a threat.
If you're driving a Lamborghini in Reseda, you're going to have to expect to get pulled over. Should've stuck to the Saticoy.
The trash taking itself out.
Welppp if he’s dead he won’t reoffend again. 🤷♂️
That's one less loser out there stealing cars. Bet he's been doing this for awhile and we finally found the justice we've been so long denied by the DA.
Huracan > Puddle
jesus christ
I saw a guy drive like this down the street, killed one person and severely wounded (barely breathing) another.
Yes you can call him scum of the earth or laugh/look down on him. After witnessing something so fuckex up, I was mad at the driver, not mocking. Anyone who mocks is a child who’s never seen anything serious. Or, if you have seen serious shit and it didn’t change you from a mocking child, then you’re worse than these desperate people who crash cars in their confusion and misery.
Think twice before you start throwing rocks in a glass house. The only people dumber than these drivers are those who mock tragedy. Childish.
It is perfectly legitimate to mock clowns who put themselves and others in danger out of selfishness and stupidity.
So far as I can, this dipshit only killed himself. It is not like your situation where the idiot killed a child.
I was EMS in LA and I’ve seen as much as the next guy. It’s okay to mock :)
I thought they weren't allowed to ask "do you know why we pulled you over" anymore
I’ve seen stop sticks used on a stationary vehicle, placed in front on tires, under the vehicle. With 3 officers and a stopped vehicle, this could’ve changed the fatal outcome.
If he didn’t run that could have changed the outcome. Stop blaming our officers for people’s stupid decisions. As a matter a fact, he won’t reoffend and won’t be our responsibility as tax payers to keep him alive. Oh well. FAFO
There’s no blaming of officers, not certain where that conclusion was drawn. From a public safety standpoint, it was a simple procedural observation which all law-enforcement could follow to prevent these rampant drive offs and high speed pursuits after a traffic stop. They could block them in the rear with their patrol vehicle and place stop sticks under the front tires, thus preventing injury to innocent civilians or law enforcement. And they get the perpetrator.
