A blue £200,000 Lamborghini was wrecked in London after it was driven into a pole by a driver who then ambled away from the wreck, dropping items as he fled.
The car, which MailOnline has identified as a Huracan EVO Spyder priced at over £218,000, was ploughed into a pole indicating a cycle route on Wapping High Street on Friday, metres from a London Overground station.
The Metropolitan Police have since told MailOnline that the supercar is a hire car.
Viral footage shared on social media showed the convertible luxury sports car in a crumpled wreck as a person clamours to get out of the vehicle before running down the street.
Emergency services rushed to the scene where the driver and a passenger were treated for minor injuries.
Speaking to The Sun, locals recalled the ‘chaotic scenes’ following the crash.

One witness said: ‘It was a chaotic scene, but thankfully, it looks like everyone is okay.’
