Lamborghini Murcielago Does the Crash-Dance in Wet Russian Traffic

There's an urban saying that goes a bit like this: you can never have too much Russian dash cam footage. And the freshest example that proves it comes in the clip at the bottom of the page, which bring us a sad (are you surprised?) Lamborghini story.

The clip was captured on a highway and interpreting the manner in which the Murcielago spin-passes the camera car can be explained in tons of ways. Nevertheless, whether you see this as the worst overtaking in history or simply a failed piece of car dancing, one thing's for sure - the driver looks totally helpless.

And when the V12 machine around you starts spinning violently while you're driving on a soaking wet road, the last thing you need to do is deliver unbelievably poor countersteering attempt.

Admittedly, once the Raging Bull ended up in such a repetitive tête-à-queue state, there's only so much control the one behind the wheel can have. Then again, it's still the driver's fault for getting the Murcie up to the kind of speeds that can generate such a mess, one that has the potential to ruin everybody's day.

If there's one lesson that can be learned from here, it's that the lack of planning can easily lead to aquaplaning.

As if the episode mentioned above wasn't enough, the Lamborghini hit an unsuspecting car before ending up smashing into the guardrail, with pieces of the Sant'Agata Bolognese machinery flying all over the road.

And while we have no post-crash data of the recent event, this doesn't look like the kind of accident that can cause serious injuries. Alas, we can't say the same thing about the Murcielago involved in the spin-crashing adventure, with the supercar obviously requiring some serious servicing attention after the impacts visible in the piece of footage below.
