Driver of stolen Lamborghini dies in 100 mph crash while trying to evade police – NBC Los Angeles

The driver of a suspected stolen Lamborghini Huracan died early Monday after he crashed the luxury vehicle while trying to evade police in the Reseda area.

Around 5:10 a.m., officers approached the gray 2019 Lamborghini Huracan after noticing the driver falling asleep behind the wheel near the intersection of Sherman Way and Reseda Boulevard.

Officers conducted a vehicle search and learned that the Lamborghini had been reported stolen. According to the Los Angeles Police Department, the driver, 51-year-old Elliot Dugan, had multiple warrants out for his arrest.

Dugan was ordered to get out of the car but refused. After a few questions from officers, Dugan took off, speeding west on Sherman Way.

The driver was traveling over 100 miles per hour when he lost control and crashed into the median on Vanalden Street.

Police searched for Dugan in the rubble and his body was found several hundred feet away on a nearby sidewalk. Upon impact, he was thrown from the car and died.

Several vehicles parked on Sherman Way were also damaged by the debris.

LAPD Media Relations Commanding Officer Kelly Muniz said the investigation is still in its early stages.
