Damaged supercar removed in a hurry
The Huracán STO is a lightweight and more radical version of the Italian brand. With 630 horsepower and a body made of 75% carbon fiber, the model was made for maximum performance. But all this cutting-edge engineering didn't stop the car from suffering serious damage.

Even so, the authorities' focus was on immediately clearing the road, and the car was pushed off the road by a police vehicle.
The police's swift action drew criticism from the public, but the CHP defended the measure. According to the force, there was a risk of further accidents, especially with other inattentive drivers passing through the same stretch.
