Moment HGV brings down tree, crushing £200,000 Lamborghini

WATCH as a falling tree crashes to the ground hitting a brand-new £200,000 Lamborghini Urus on its way down. 

A clip shared to social media yesterday captured the dramatic moment unfolding in Goodge Street, central London. 

The sports SUV was parked at the side of the road when a passing lorry caught the tree, which has reportedly been a hazard for some time. 

The tree was then pulled down and onto the road, hitting the front of the car, a Lamborghini Urus Performante, which is worth a whopping £202,000. 

The tree can just be seen sharply dropping behind the lorry as it drives along, landing with an alarming crash which is met by gasps from bystanders. 

A gaping hole can be seen in the top of the lorry, potentially caused by the impact with the tree. 

As it pulls away, the driver seemingly unaware of the carnage behind, the Lamborghini’s hazard lights begin to flash. 

The person filming left in disbelief at the damage caused says: “Yo, the Lambo. Oh my gosh.” 

He walks over to the car to inspect the damage done to the vehicle by the tree as the street begins to fill with bystanders who have flocked to see what has happened. 

The tree trunk and one man standing in the way block the view of the front of the car, so it is unclear what the extent of the damage is. 

The video was shared to social media yesterday with the caption: “The s**t I witness is crazy.  

“2024 Lamborghini Urus Performante crushed by a tree behind Oxford Street.” 

It has since received over 2,700 likes and more than 370 comments from social media users sharing their reactions. 

One said: “That tree [is] next to my work. Too many times [a] truck hit that tree that was about to fall. Nobody informed the council or fire crews. Bad luck for Lambo.” 

A second wrote: “Actually lucky that never killed anyone.” 

Another commented: “It’s a Lamborghini. Granted some hassle but there’s money to deal with it.” 

A fourth said: “Why are there trees there though? There’s plenty of forests and gardens for trees, they don’t need to be planted on the pavement overhanging the road.” 

Another quipped: “Act of God, will insurance pay out?”
