This is an ex-Gallardo... it is no more
Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 'Polizia' factory special
that entered service with Lazio police around this time last year? Well it seems the Italian police were also still running its 2004 predecessor - at least until yesterday.
Sadly for supercar fans, if not for Lazio's motorised villainry, the older Gallardo is looking somewhat the worse for wear after an embarrassing prang that's just been reported in the Italian newspaper Corriere Della Sera.
Apparently the accident took place at nightime, when the Gallardo's driver was forced to plough into a couple of parked cars to avoid another car exiting a petrol station. (At least if the Google translation machine is working properly today.)
They've still got one of these (we think)
Injuries sustained to all the humans involved were apparently minor, so it's OK to snigger at the rozzers' misfortune. Shame about the car, though.
