One Lamborghini driver in America can consider themselves lucky to be alive, after a crash into a concrete pole split their supercar in half.

The incident took place in Fairfax County, Virginia on Thursday night. It’s not clear how the accident occurred, but the aftermath is – with the Lamborghini Huracan’s mid-mounted engine and rear axle completely separated from the front of the vehicle.

According to authorities, the Italian machine caught fire as a result of the crash which was quickly extinguished. Incredibly, nobody was seriously hurt – with the driver treated on the scene for minor injuries.

A tweet from Fairfax County Fire and Rescue said: “From Gallows Road and International Drive overnight. Lamborghini hit a concrete light pole and was cut in half.

When completely attached to the car, the Lamborghini V10 power unit develops 602bhp and 560Nm of torque in all-wheel-drive Huracan models, sending the £155k supercar to 60mph in 3 seconds flat with a 202mph top speed possible.
