Last Friday night a Lamborghini Gallardo speeding through a rainy Fort Worth, Texas struck a tree and split in half when the driver lost control after hydroplaning across standing water. The violent accident left the passenger compartment smashed against the tree while the rear half of the car continued on, stopping yards away. Both passenger and driver suffered serious injuries with one of the occupants reportedly losing a foot (ouch). We've got some crash shots below and on-the-scene footage of the bifurcated bull after the jump. (Hat tip to Travis!)

Early this morning, a green Lamborghini Murcielago was completely destroyed in a deadly accident on California's 101 freeway in Woodland Hills. The car was spotted just before the incident allegedly undertaking in some very noteworthy speeding suspected to have resulted in the car punching through a guardrail and smashing into a parking structure. The unnamed driver was pronounce dead on the scene when police arrived and after watching the footage from the accident scene, we're not at all surprised. You know a wreck is bad when the only way to identify a car is by the wheels. At this rate, there won't be too many Murcielagos making it to classic status. (Hat tip to Noraa!) [LATimes]

Lamborghini LP640 Tangles With Yamaha XJR1300, Results Smashing

And the parade of wrecked Lamborghini LP640s continues as we peek in on a crash that happened in England between the ragin' bull and a now FUBAR'd Yamaha XJR1300. Without more detail there's no way to tell who was really at fault here or to know the condition of the motorcycle driver, but we do know that's going to be a hefty bill for the repairs on the Lambo. Looks like every panel on the right side is buggered in some way and that front left wheel seems to indicate its suspension is much worse for the wear. We'd advocate a "Save the LP640's" t-shirt, but it just doesn't roll off the tongue as well, and we're apathetic about the fate of a footballer's car anyway.
