Santa Cruz, CA – A 2023 Lamborghini Huracan STO violently overturned on Highway 9 after the driver lost control while taking a sharp curve. The supercar, valued at over $400,000, was found flipped upside down on the roadway. While no fatalities occurred, the California Highway Patrol (CHP) emphasized that this scenic road is not a racetrack and warned against speeding on mountainous roads.
Accident Details
According to the CHP, the driver and a passenger sustained only minor injuries, despite the vehicle landing upside down with significant damage to the passenger side roof.
Due to the danger of additional collisions in the curve, officers took the unusual step of pushing the wrecked Lamborghini off the road using a patrol car to prevent further accidents.
CHP posted a firm warning on social media: “This is not a racetrack. Slow down on Highway 9.”
Speeding on Scenic Roads: A Recurring Threat
Highway 9 is well-known for its natural beauty and technical curves, making it a hotspot for high-performance vehicle drivers. However, excessive speed and misuse of sport driving modes on public roads endanger everyone:
- Pedestrians, cyclists, and other drivers are at risk from reckless maneuvers
- Crashes caused by loss of control on sharp curves
- Risk of serious injury from rollovers or side collisions
Being able to afford a high-performance vehicle does not equate to having the training to operate it safely on public roads.
