Lamborghini Runs Into 3 Parked Cars, Burns

A yellow Lamborghini was incinerated Friday night when it skidded out of control on rain-slickened Hollywood Way, slammed into three parked vehicles and burst into flames.

A van was struck so hard by the sports car that it landed in a tree, Lt. Omar Rodriguez said. A pickup and sedan had moderate damage. The accident occurred about 9:45 p.m.

Rodriguez said the driver and passenger in the 2002 model Lamborghini, which has a base price of up to $280,000, fled. They were later identified as acquaintances of the owner, who had lent them the car.

Rodriguez said that the driver would be charged in the incident but that he had not been taken into custody because no one was injured.
