A Texas man was driving a Lamborghini 141 mph in a 45 mph zone when the vehicle struck and killed a moped rider in the southwest Las Vegas Valley late Saturday, police said.
Las Vegas police also say in an arrest report that the driver of the Lamborghini, Andrew James Rodriguez, 33, of New Braunfels, was suspected of alcohol impairment. He was booked into the Clark County Detention Center on suspicion of driving under the influence causing death, reckless driving and driving without a valid license.
“I killed someone,” an investigating officer quoted Rodriguez as saying at the scene of the crash on Russell Road at Rogers Street at 11:50 p.m.
Police said Rodriguez was driving a 2017 Lamborghini Huracan with a Minnesota license plate west on Russell when it slammed into the back of the TaoTao moped driven by Walter Richard Anderson, 58, of Las Vegas. Anderson died at the scene.
“The Lamborghini collided with the rear of the moped with such force that the moped became lodged under the right front of the Lamborghini,” officers said.
Police said they “immediately observed signs of impairment,” noting Rodriguez had watery eyes and smelled of alcohol. Police said Rodriguez admitted to drinking before the crash. He did not have a valid license and was identified by law enforcement via a passport, police said.

He did not have a valid license.
I.E. ILLEGAL ALIEN
Just because he has a Spanish surname does not mean he is an illegal. It doesn’t even imply he is an immigrant. His first and middle names do not sound like those of someone born outside the US. The article says he was from Texas. The fact that he has a passport doesn’t mean he used it to get here. It can just as easily mean he travels from here to abroad. Homegrown Americans with Hispanic last names can be jackasses too.
Poor guy on the moped never had a chance.
The really fast new Lambo is, I think an electric car too.
Jay Leno had on on his show.
“Sounds like he may be an illegal with wither a stolen car and quite possibly a drug dealer.”
With the first and middle names being Andrew James he could be an illegal from Canada or the UK.
That is, if he is an illegal at all.
Mopeds should not be on the road.
"He did not have a valid license and was identified by law enforcement via a passport, police said."
Less than 2% of all American citizens in Texas even possess a passport. Only 0.2% of them routinely carry it around with them. And only 0.02% of all American Lamborghini-owners in Texas routinely carry a passport around with them. So the deduction that he is probably an illegal is quite valid.
Regards,
141 was probably just winding up third gear.
Como se dice “sucks to be you” en espanol?
“Less than 2% of all American citizens in Texas even possess a passport.”
The number of Americans that have passports is far above 2% and actually above 35% of Americans have passports.
““I killed someone,” an investigating officer quoted Rodriguez as saying at the scene of the crash on Russell Road at Rogers Street at 11:50 p.m.”
This reminded me of the scene from My Cousin Vinny when Sheriff Farley is questioning William Gambino about shooting Poor Jimmy Willis:
Farley: When’d you shoot him?
Gambino: What?
Farley: At what point did you shoot the clerk?
Gambino I shot the clerk?
Farley: Yes, when did you shoot him?
Gambino: I shot the clerk?
Gambino: WHOA!
Farley: I’m in the middle of a damn confession here.
Kinda thinking along those lines as well...
Which country issued his passport?
Self driving cars won’t go over the posted speed limit until they get a speck of road dust on a chip.
Terrifying
Yes
No trial
Why bother...
😄
And this guy was DUI?
Too bad they can't just take him out and shoot him for the death of this innocent person.
