Speeding and alcohol are never a good combination, but throw a powerful machine in the mix, and you could have a recipe for disaster on your hands. Luckily, it never came to that in this particular case.
French forward Lys Mousset of Sheffield United is one supercar short after his orange Lamborghini Aventador was wrecked in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England. Photos of the wreck first emerged on social media, with the police confirming for the BBC that two people were arrested in the aftermath.
“Two men in their 20s were arrested on suspicion of being over the prescribed limit. Both have been released under investigation while inquiries continue,” the official statement says.
The official line is that the Lamborghini Aventador smashed into several parked cars. No other details were revealed at this time.
It is not known whether Mousset was at the wheel but, for what it’s worth, he is 24 years old. His social media posts indicate that he was understandably attached to the car, often posing next to it like every respectable – and well-off – celebrity out there.
As per the report, the emergence of the photos of the crash on social media have prompted an internal investigation with Sheffield United. Mousset himself would not respond to calls for comment, and his Instagram is now private.
Mousset joined Sheffield from Bournemouth last summer, under a £10 million ($13.5 million) deal. He makes £25,000 ($34,000) a week and is a budding car collector, based on his social media posts.
Ironically, a recent photo has him showing off his orange Aventador next to Benjamin Mendy’s white Aventador. As a reminder, the latter is the same Lambo seized by cops in November and was in danger of being crushed in December because Mendy couldn't provide documentation for it. If there ever was a pair of unlucky Lambos, this must be it.
