Lamborghini bursts into flames after crash on Remuera Rd in Auckland

A Lamborghini burst into flames in an affluent Auckland suburb this afternoon after a crash.

Emergency services were seen on a street in Remuera as they attempted to extinguish the blaze coming from the luxury sports car.

In a video supplied to the Herald, traffic can be seen building up around the two-vehicle crash as the wind blew smoke towards the surrounding homes.

A signpost was bent on the footpath, and debris from the vehicles was strewn across the road.

A witness described the incident as a “crazy scene”.

The witness, who wished to remain anonymous, said the car had just started to smoke when they drove past.

“The smoke started to get quite big. People were sort of backing away, like we didn’t know if it was going to blow.

“We were definitely feeling quite anxious watching the whole thing. I felt bad for the owner.

“I was just like, of all the cars,” they said.

The witness said the driver of the Lamborghini appeared to be unhurt but distressed after the crash.

Police said they received a report of a two-vehicle crash at the intersection of Remuera Rd and Cotter Ave about 2.10pm.

There were no reported injuries in relation to the incident.

A Fire and Emergency New Zealand spokesperson said they were called to the crash and responded with one fire truck from Remuera.

On the crew’s arrival, no one was trapped in either vehicle.

The spokesperson said the blaze was extinguished shortly afterwards.

Police said the road was blocked for a period of time while emergency services were in attendance and diversions were in place.
