Chicago Bears linebacker Lance Briggs was charged with leaving the scene of an accident after crashing his Lamborghini and abandoning it alongside an expressway on the city's North Side, Illinois State Police said.
After meeting with police Monday afternoon, Briggs was also cited for failure to give immediate notice of an accident and improper lane usage, said Master Sgt. Luis Gutierrez.

I guess smacking a utility pole is 'improper lane usage'.

Lance and his friend Nathan bought matching Lambos. How cute.

“Briggs was released after posting $100 bond and is scheduled to appear Oct. 4 in a Cook County court. Leaving the scene of a property damage accident is a Class A misdemeanor that carries a maximum 364 days in jail and a $1,000 fine, Gutierrez said.”
Beats a DWI charge all to hell, not to mention drug possession charges, if applicable.

Personally, if I had a Lamborghini and wrapped it around a telephone poll, police would find me there for the next several hours crying my eyes out.

"The black luxury Italian sports car has a Kelley Blue Book value of more than $350,000." Not anymore!
Excessive money simply can't erase the thug or scofflaw tendencies...
Such a waste of money......buying tickets to subsidize these thugs and freaks.

Too bad they don’t require an IQ, Character and Drug Test before they sell these “works of art” automobiles.
Putting a car like that in the hands of jock thug, is like hanging the Mona Lisa in the city jail drunk tank.

I say we contact Ted Kennedy to see about strengthening laws against leaving the scene of accidents.

Smart man. if he was drinking he got off quite nicely. Why would someone call the cops if they aren’t hurt? So the cops can throw them in jail and make a public spectacle out of you?

I gave up viewing pro football in the early 70s.
There is life without pro sports.

You know the best part about that time I crashed my Lambo and left the scene . . . not getting arrested for a DUI.
