Someone crashed a Lamborghini on I-93

Police say it had been driving "erratically."

It’s arguably unadvisable to drive any high-performance sports car on Massachusetts roads in the winter in any manner.

And certainly not like this.

Trooper Dustin Fitch says police are still investigating what exactly caused a driver on I-93 south in Quincy to crash his Lamborghini Murcielago on Thursday afternoon.

“Troopers were responding to calls of it operating erratically just before the crash,” Fitch told Boston.com. “It collided with another vehicle while it was changing lanes.”

Trooper Paul Sullivan, a state police spokesman, said the car sustained minor damage and the driver was, at least physically, uninjured. Sullivan also said the driver was cited for speeding, which police believe was a contributing factor in the crash.

But the bigger question for Sullivan: Why would someone in Massachusetts take their supercar out in the winter at all?

“I guess if you’re driving a Lamborghini in January, you don’t really care,” Sullivan said, noting the state’s heavily-salted roads, which can cause cars to rust and corrode.

“I was horrified,” he added.
