4-cr Lamborghini damaged in mishap

Jalandhar: Two persons had a miraculous escape as a new Lamborghini worth around Rs4 crore, being test driven by one of them, was damaged after ramming into a stationary vehicle here on Friday. The car was being test driven on 66 feet road near here. The accident reportedly took place last evening. While there are reports that AGI Infra Ltd owner Sukhdev’s manager had sought to test drive the Italian car before gifting it to his son and went on to check 300 km per hour speed when the accident took place, Sukhdev denied the reports. “The reality is that I had no intention to buy the car. I and few other people had shown interest in the test drive. The company sent the car only for test. It was in fact the company’s driver who was controlling the steering when the accident happened,” he said. The car reportedly bumped into Sukhdev’s Fortuner, which too partially got damaged. TNS
