Previous incidents on the same stretch
This accident is not the first involving a Lamborghini on the Coastal Road. On 25 December 2024, another model of the Italian supercar caught fire on the very same stretch. Flames engulfed the vehicle before fire brigade personnel brought the blaze under control in 45 minutes. Fortunately, no one was injured in that incident either.
