Accident today between two luxury cars Lamborghini and Lucid in my hometown (Passo Stelvio, South Tyrol, Italy)

I think it is a Lamborghini Huracàn Evo (€ 220.000+) and a Lucid Grand Touring (€ 100.000+).

The Stelvio Pass gets another victim.

"Hi Mindy. Yes, he's done it again."

Sounds of scissors cutting through jeans

u/gdabull 29d ago

Won’t be ringing Mindy anymore

Oooofff

u/dparag14 28d ago

Haha exactly what came to my mind. Man that probably hurt him more than the crash.

I have to say, I don't keep up with the love lives of the rich and famous, so I don't know who he's tampering with these days. I was just using the line Clarkson used, because it was amusing.

Dick Ham?

u/Swigor 29d ago

Maybe both

u/alaskanwonder 29d ago

He couldn’t see over the steering wheel.

u/No-Debate-152 29d ago

Looks like the Lucid was pretty cool with it.

Wait a minute. Are you from the same neck of the woods as Reinhold Messner?

He's an all time great, no questions asked.

u/Klangspektrum 29d ago

Yes. I also had the honour to meet him personally on different occations. As a mountaineer myself, he never failed to facinate me with his stories about conquering the highest peaks in the world. Terrific guy.

u/No-Debate-152 29d ago

You're beyond privileged. It's like talking to Muhammad Ali.

u/Klangspektrum 29d ago

Fun fact: his brother Dr. Hubert Messner happened to be my paediatrician. Fantastic doc according to my mom.

u/ponte92 29d ago

Oh what a cool experience! Also what an amazing part of the world to call home.

u/unatleticodemadrid 29d ago

Ouch. Stelvio pass is one of the most phenomenal places to drive through, sad that it had to end this way for them.

u/AbXcape 29d ago

The insurance company: you WHAT??!

10

u/domtheprophet 28d ago

My first thought. Nationwide might not be on their side after this one😭

7

u/cuber_and_gamer 28d ago

They might not be in good hands.

23

u/bobspuds 29d ago

Ffs - that wheels been destroyed with red paint from the coppers, imagine how upset the owners gonna be when they notice

2

u/sjf_f1 28d ago

No they are not destroyed and can easily be cleaned.

u/PhaceN52 26d ago

On the Lucid?! Nothing of value was lost

u/Elegant-Raise-9367 29d ago

Screw the crash, I want more pictures of your home town, that looks awesome

u/Klangspektrum 29d ago

One of my fav: https://youtu.be/rd6CAM4jHBk

Come visit. It's the damn paradise.

6

u/PilotKnob 29d ago

Yep, that pretty much looks like my idea of paradise. And that castle at 2:30 looks exactly like the one in Hudson Hawk.

u/Sodiac606 29d ago

Damn that sucks

15

u/salamishit 29d ago

Matt Armstrong where you at bro

5

u/Curleysound 29d ago

He can sell the lucid to tavarish or rich rebuilds

u/_P85D_ 29d ago

The colors match nicely

u/JizzCollector5000 29d ago

Beautiful scenery for an accident or any occasion really

u/Bigry816 29d ago

This is beautiful 😍 Now kiss 😘

u/Sad_History_4345 29d ago

I wonder if the small peen dudes were racing

u/ObliviousRounding 29d ago

Loacker on Loacker violence.

u/Pinocchio98765 29d ago

Geolocation: entrance to the village of Trafoi descending from the pass.

u/dwp87bro 29d ago

They tried to make a love and have a baby, Lucighini GT!

3

u/SoManyMinutes 29d ago

They should have been more careful.

4

u/ramboton 29d ago

You are lucky to live in such a beautiful place, the heck with the cars

2

u/Sloofin 29d ago

That’ll buff out.

u/rhysbreezy 29d ago

Deer can jump 2km!

u/Narrow_Professor7756 29d ago

Oops, or as the Italians would say, "oh cazzo!"

2

u/real_ikonn 29d ago

Too much speed around a hairpin mountain turn? Some of those switchbacks in the Alps are no joke.

2

u/withnoflag 29d ago

I love how this is Italy but everything is in German to this day

2

u/Reddit62195 29d ago

Tis but a scratch!!!

2

u/bnihls 28d ago

Wait, lucid, a luxury brand

2

u/karallam 28d ago

Lucid kinda the luxury of the ev's? They are miles nicer than Tesla so I guess

2

u/AdventurousDress576 28d ago

Their offerings are comparable to Porsche

2

u/domtheprophet 28d ago

I know the insurance company had to do a “you did WHAT now????”

2

u/CupParking1208 28d ago

I'd like to live where you live

3

u/Equivalent-Drive-439 29d ago

Zero chance they didn't get out yelling and blaming each other!

4

u/zenos_dog 29d ago

No! I had the right of way, my car’s more expensive.

1

u/dollar-tree-pizza 29d ago

Aw they got red paint on the cars! Now they’re ruined 😞

1

u/rkhan7862 29d ago

it’s interesting with the way both cars are designed, neither is critically impacted and only hit dead space crumple zoned

1

u/BornFree2018 29d ago

Which car hit the other or were they both wrong?

1

u/TiLeddit 26d ago

The Lambo was almost pushed off the road. They were probably both going faster than they should have.

1

u/[deleted] 29d ago

Insurance companies hate them

1

u/Bokun_Zhao 29d ago

It's a Lamborghini Huracán Tecnica... more expensive than an Evo.

u/CrazyBrosCael 29d ago

Two Dons have now gone to war

1

u/FlibblesHexEyes 29d ago

Isn’t this how The Italian Job started?

1

u/Altezza447 29d ago

They have insurance to fix it so all is well

1

u/EurDLX 29d ago

Lucid was the clear winner... the Lambo never saw it coming

1

u/Significant_Sir_1777 29d ago

That triangle sign in the path of the Lambo showed up out of nowhere

1

u/Pj_Leward 29d ago

Another strikey for Mikey ✨✨

(search Mikey insurance on Tiktok if you don't get it 😬)

1

u/UP-NORTH 29d ago

There’s only one luxury car in this crash.

1

u/chicagoharry 29d ago

Damn seeing that Lambo like that 💔

1

u/darkbeerguy 29d ago

I hope they have insurance

1

u/domtheprophet 28d ago

If you’re driving around a super car without insurance, it’s natural selection and I don’t feel bad

2

u/darkbeerguy 28d ago

Yeah, basically two kinds of people drive cars like that: those that have insurance and those that don’t need insurance.

1

u/nevillethong 28d ago

Not worth claiming...

1

u/MasterNyon 29d ago

That's easy to fix, go get Kanyarfoto and he'll put a band aid on both

1

u/peatoast 28d ago

They were probably distracted by the beautiful scenery.

u/DrDickscabs 28d ago

Mama mia!

u/gnmatx 28d ago

Guenther Steiner?!

u/emcee_you 28d ago

Bruce Wayne is fuckin' pissed, bro.

1

u/holzmann_dc 28d ago

I have driven that road a few times. I have incredibly fond memories of Bormio!

1

u/Ellemental_Chaos 27d ago

At first, I thought this was a screenshot of GTA6.

1

u/archercc81 27d ago

Honestly, not a huge fan of the stelvio. The lower portion, yes, but once you get above the treeline its just hairpins and traffic. I preferred Salo or Pordoi.

1

u/Yallapachi 27d ago

I am so sad. Someone get me some dollar notes, so I can wipe my tears.

1

u/RedTruck1989 27d ago

The Lucid didn't see the "Bulls 1km ahead" warning sign....

1

u/GeniusGemini84 26d ago

The view behind the cars though. 😆

1

u/Diogenes256 25d ago

I was there recently, those passes are packed with exotics.

1

u/Dojistyle 3d ago

As a flatlander, driving up and down the mountains around Tyrol just about made me poop my pants.

Doing it in a supermarket would've made it a certainty.

1

u/Defiant_Raccoon10 29d ago

When calling the insurance company today: “Harro, Chinese food. I take your order please?”

u/SnooDoodles4807 29d ago

Can they park there? No... Someone should tell them...

u/HyperBRUIN 29d ago

Glad it's not a higher end Lambo or the Sapphire. ☺️

u/broccoliwolf 29d ago

Who’s fault? Yes.

u/Lupus-Claudius 28d ago

Lamborghini Hurracan is not a luxury car.

u/Salt_Bus2528 29d ago

An expensive KIA totals a work of art

u/huenix 29d ago

A lucid air sapphire is $250k…

2

u/Slogstorm 29d ago

And they aren't sold in Europe afaik, so just getting it there might add a bit to the cost...
