Watch a $500,000 Lamborghini Aventador catch air as it crashes in London

Lamborghini Aventador Crash

Knightsbridge in London contains wilder supercars than practically anywhere in the world outside of Dubai, and they often end up in controversy. Owners enjoy revving their engines, spewing flames from the exhaust, and then – occasionally – forget to carry the necessary insurance documentation to keep British police at bay. Moments like this cause one's "Glow-in-the-Dark" Lamborghini to find a new home at the impound lot.

It's not always showboating that gets owners in trouble, however. Sometimes it's speed mixed with bad luck – like this driver, who wrecked his $500,000 custom Lamborghini Aventador by crashing it into a parked BMW and a Mazda 5.

On Knightsbridge's exclusive Sloane Street, home to wealthy businessmen and sporting icons, the video, captured by an onlooker's cell phone camera, shows the unidentified owner of the matte-black Lamborghini collide with a Mazda 5 that was pulling onto the street, unaware of the approaching supercar's speed. Both cars come together, causing the Lamborghini to get airborne before crashing into the stationary BMW.
