Lamborghini Huracán crashes into barrier after police chase near Chesterfield

A Lamborghini has driven into a traffic median barrier following a police chase.

The incident happened around 1 am on March 2 when the driver of a Lamborghini Huracán failed to stop when asked to do so by officers from Chesterfield Police.

While officers followed the vehicle at a safe distance, the driver tried to use the speed of the car to his advantage and drive off from the scene – but drove into a traffic median barrier on the A617 shortly afterwards.

A spokesperson for Derbyshire Road Policing Unit commented after the incident: “Despite acceleration of 0-62mph in 2.9 seconds the power far outweighed the talent and it stopped as quickly.”

Derbyshire police have confirmed that a woman in her twenties was arrested at the scene and a man in his twenties was arrested soon after on suspicion of driving offences. Both have been bailed pending further enquiries.
