A car thief behind the wheel of a Lamborghini in Los Angeles fled the police at more than 100 miles per hour and moments later crashed the vehicle, totaling it and getting thrown hundreds of feet from the wreck. He died at the scene.
Thieves are not usually very smart and this guy was no exception.
People who have never been behind the wheel of a vehicle like the Lamborghini have no idea how much power these cars have and how easily you can lose control. This man found out the hard way.
This happened in April but the footage just became available.

The suspect, 51-year-old Los Angeleno Elliott Dugan, woke up, refused to cooperate with law enforcement, and sped away to his death up the street, body and dashcam videos show.
The incident happened on April 6, but police released the videos Wednesday.
“Do you know why I pulled you over?” an officer asks.
In a conversation with officers, Dugan denied that the car was stolen and claimed he had rented it. Police asked him repeatedly to get out of the vehicle.
Dugan asserted that he did not have to get out of the car until police gave him a reason why. The officer said he would be detained and asked him several more times to get out.
He hit the gas instead.

LAPD released footage of a stolen Lamborghini Huracan fleeing officers driving over 100 MPH before a violent crash that shredded the vehicle in pieces sending the driver flying
That’s one guy who won’t be stealing any more cars.
He paid the ultimate price for his crime.
Good that the thief is dead by his own hand. Too bad about the Lamborghini.
For sure!
This is California, it’s ok to steal. Is a Lamborghini more than $900?

Los Angeles County is reporting the death of a 51-year-old Black male that occurred on a sidewalk.
Slightly........................
He died doing what he loves.
But it looks so easy in the movies ...

Suicide is painless......................
Flying?..................
Just a little. 😀
The thing is...this guy cared so little for his own life that he (potentially) endangered the lives others, just to have his way!
That kind of nihilist thinking is quite prevalent, I think and endangers all of us.
Play stupid games...
With the greatest of ease.
Hitting concrete at 100+ mph has got to be pretty messy................
We all need some excitement. Lamborghini. High speed chase. Musta got off on it.
I prefer sex myself.
How sweet it is
