Bridegroom David Gallucci, 33, was said to be ecstatic when fiancee Abi Pattison-Hart, 27, paid £8,000 to rent him a Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster LP640 for their wedding day. However the bridegroom lost control of the 4-wheel drive Murcielago on a roundabout just an hour before the ceremony.
The Lamborghini took off as it hit a grass verge before crashing into a fence and flipping 360 degrees through the air, however, David was left with nothing more than a few bruises after the car landed on its back wheels in a ditch. The Murcielago was written off after sustaining £160,000 of damage to the bodywork, suspension and wheels.
“I was driving it to the wedding when the back end skipped out while I was going around the roundabout.” said David. “The car mounted the grass verge, hit the fence and flipped a full 360 degrees. The next thing I knew I was in a ditch.”
Best man Warwick French, 35, said: “We’d barely got the seats warm before we were climbing out of the window.”

There is a very good chance you were driving like a tit.
It never ceases to amaze me when someone involved in this sort of crash shrugs their shoulders and says they don’t know how it could have happened. Perhaps if he’d been driving a tippy-toed 2CV, but Murcis don’t just ‘roll over’ without one heck of a lot of provocation…
If you read the Daily Mail story you will notice the quote from wedding-goers saying “but he’s always such a careful driver…”
I suspect there is a rather amusing parallel to the ‘Vicar’s daughter’ type of story. The quiet unassuming ones are often the most careless..
