Jonathan Viera Lends Lamborghini Huracan to Friend, He Crashes It into a Tree

News broke out early in the morning of December 19 that Las Palmas’ star Jonathan Viera crashed his supercar, a Lamborghini Huracan, the same weekend his team suffered a terrible loss.

But as the pictures hit several Spanish newspapers, the 32-year-old attacking midfielder hopped on social media to deny that he was the one driving the sports car. He revealed that behind the wheel was a friend of his, to whom he had lent his Lambo.

The post, which he captioned: “All good, thank you for worrying,” clarifies the situation. He added: “After the publication of several pictures where you can see the consequences of the accident in which one of my cars were involved, I want to clarify to those who're worrying for my health that I wasn't driving the vehicle. A friend of mine had the car, who, luckily, is in a perfect state of health. Thank you all.”

Locals claim the Lamborghini mounted the pavement and hit a tree. No other cars or people were involved in the accident, but the sports car has some serious damage to the front and left wing. The driver didn’t require hospital treatment, but the tree doesn't look good at all, if you were wondering.

The soccer player seems to have acquired the Lamborghini Huracan in mid-2019. Back then, it had red paint, although now it seems to show a black wrap, according to the pictures from the crash scene.

One possible reason for the crash might be that the Lamborghini is probably too fast and powerful for many drivers. With a 5.2-liter V10 unit under the hood, it delivers 602 horsepower (610 ps) at 8,250 rpm and a maximum torque of 560 Nm (413 lb-ft) at 6.500 rpm. Which can be quite a lot for someone who isn’t used to the car. But something tells me Viera might reconsider lending his supercars from now on.
