Showroom Lamborghini driven out, hits taxi
A Lamborghini, driven out of a showroom on Alexandra Road, was involved in an early morning hit-and-run with a taxi on Wednesday.
Police investigations have found that one of Eurokars Pre-Owned managers, a 53-year-old Chinese man, drove the $1 million car out from the showroom just after midnight.
He is believed to have been behind the wheel when the white Lamborghini then hit a taxi and drove off a few hours later.
Yahoo! Singapore understands that the manager turned himself in at 9:50pm on the same day.
The white Lamborghini was traveling along Guillemard Road heading toward Paya Lebar when it slammed into the back of a taxi at about 3 am. The police have confirmed the accident.
The driver of the taxi was unhurt and he was not ferrying any passengers at the time.
Following the hit-and-run, the manager parked the car at his own home and was uncontactable to staff through the entire day, reported The New Paper.
Even though the incident was discovered by showroom employees when they arrived at the scene in the morning, it is not clear why they did not file a police report until 5:30pm on Wednesday.
A glass door panel was also found shattered at the front of the showroom housing the Lamborghini. The police are still investigating the cause of the damage.
Local papers reported that the incident had not been recorded on closed-circuit television, although the police were unable to confirm this.
Yahoo! Singapore was told that Eurokars Pre-Owned may not be pursuing the matter because the manager was authorised to take the car out of the showroom.
It is also understood that the car has since been returned to the showroom's general manager and has been sent for repairs.
