A driver was counting the cost today after he wrecked his £170,000 Lamborghini Huracan by crashing into a lamp post in Birmingham.
Photos showed the blue supercar mangled following the smash in Soho Hill, Handsworth, just before midnight on Sunday as people streamed out of pubs following England's Euro 2020 final defeat.
Ten firefighters dashed to help douse any flames but nobody was injured.
West Midlands Fire Service said today: 'We were alerted by West Midlands Police - a Lamborghini Huracan had been in collision with a lamp post.
'Two crews responded, one from Aston and one from Handsworth.
'The area was cordoned off because the lamp post was left in a precarious condition.
'The crews used a specialist winch attached to the car to remove it from the lamp post. There were signs of burning and we used a hose reel to make sure.'
West Midlands Police said they were called to a 'no-injury RTC involving a blue coloured Lamborghini Huracan' and had no further involvement.
