People on social media who claim to have seen the cars before the crash said a red pickup truck had been filming the Lamborghinis. There's a strange can't-look-away fascination whenever an exotic car crashes. Maybe it's the shock of seeing something so expensive and so desirable reduced to twisted metal. But when two Lamborghinis end up wrecked together, curiosity quickly turns into social media discussion.
The crash happened on the feeder road near Highway 99 and Jack Road in northwest Harris County, Texas, according to the Cy-Fair Fire Department, which says crews arrived to find two Lamborghinis involved in a crash with one on fire. Authorities have not publicly identified the drivers, and police haven't announced whether speed, impairment, or street racing played a role. No citations or causes have surfaced publicly, either.

The two are worth a combined seven figures when in good condition. While authorities haven't revealed much so far, some alleged witnesses say they think they know what might have played a role in the crash—and it wasn't necessarily racing as you might think of it. Rather, it may have been a video shoot.
In the comment section of the Cy-Fair Fire Department's post, one Facebook user says, "I was driving back home on 99 when I saw the fancy cars driving through that service road. They were like filming something. There was a red pickup with two guys on the back filming as well." A second person corroborates that account, saying, "Yep, that was them. I ended up behind them from Cypress Rose Hill all the way to 99. The truck was filming the sports cars, but they were driving crazy the whole time and not letting other cars get around them."
Road & Track has reached out to each eyewitness for more details and contacted the local authorities in hopes of finding out more. For now, all we know is the world is less two powerful V-12 supercars.
