A driver crashed a £200,000 Lamborghini just minutes after picking it up from the showroom.

The brand new Lamborghini Huracan Spyder was smashed up on the motorway 20 minutes after the new owner had been handed the keys.

The sports car stopped on the M1 near Wakefield, England, due to a mechanical failure, then another driver ploughed into the back of it.
