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.
FOX News reported:
LA Lamborghini thief dies in 115 mph crash seconds after fleeing traffic stop: dashcam video
Los Angeles police pulled up behind a driver asleep at the wheel of a Lamborghini, discovered the vehicle was stolen and the suspect had outstanding warrants before he sped off on video lost control of the car and died in a high-speed crash just seconds later.
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.
The trash took itself out-saved the taxpayers lots of money. Pity about the Lambo tho.
Trump: "Not to worry, your Eminence, I'll retrieve your hat."
Trump vaults over the railing, landing ON the water, and WALKS over to the hat, picks it up, WALKS back to the yacht, vaults back onto the ship, and hands the hat back to the Pope.
The next day, headlines across the country are: Trump Can't Swim.
Well, he did get ‘off’...............
My brother was just telling me about this story. He said the usual suspects are trying to blame the police for this death. They always try to blame someone else for the actions of the dead guy. He had plenty of opportunities to stop the car but he didn’t want to deal with the issue of it being stolen.
It’s that “sudden stop!”
Cops pulled up behind the Lambo and knew there was a guy in the car with warrants out for his arrest? How would they know at that point?
On-board computers!
I’m really upset to hear this! I’m very concerned...was the Lamborghini okay?
Unfortunately no. It was obliterated....................
Well that’s a little disappointing... I was hoping to see the carcass flying thru the air!!
Yeah, The officers were just a second or two too late..................
When I was in HS a man I knew had a ‘71 Ferrari Daytona convertible (Fly Yellow)...
In ‘76 it was stolen in Portland, OR and was missing for three days.
On the third day police caught the guy — the drivers door had a big dent in it but otherwise the vehicle was just fine.
Upon arrest the thief asked: “Hey, who owns this car?”
Police: “We can’t divulge that information.”
Thief: “Well, who ever it is tell ‘em it will do 150 no sweat.”
I am in mourning.
Rag-dolling though the air and colliding with the ground at high speed? Odd hobby... But, whatever.
I feel your pain.......................😥
Based on Dugan’s history, I am surprised he lasted 51 years.
Cops pull up behind a vehicle stopped in the middle of the road, not moving, or, pull up behind a vehicle that has not moved thru several traffic light cycles, and contact the driver.
Standard procedure is to obtain identification of the driver and check for warrants.

As you can see (if you had looked, the light is green.

I wish I could find it, but it’s probably been pulled down. There was a memorial web page for this guy, and the comments were fantastic.
It’s great watching a democrat criminal eating dirt before death. More please. /spit
