Lamborghini driver who crashes into woman’s car buys her another one

A Lamborghini Huracan driver who crashed into a woman’s vehicle in an accident bought her another car as a replacement.

A 15-second-long dashcam video that went viral on social media shows a Perodua Viva (a small Malaysian hatchback) slowing down to take a right turn at a junction. The Huracan which attempted to overtake the silver hatch while it was turning right couldn’t stop in time and crashed into the Viva at the rear end.

Photos show that the golden-wrapped Huracan sustaining minimal damages at the front, while the Viva’s entire back is wrecked till the backseat is exposed in the collision.

The collision had hampered the Viva driver’s business as she was on her way to deliver home cooked food when it happened at Section 17, PJ at around 2.30pm.

The Lamborghini Huracan is a show car at Wrapz63 in Bandar Sunway, a car workshop that offers aesthetic and protection enhancements services. One of the business owner of the workshop was driving the supercar during the accident.

Thomas Heng, the Huracan driver’s business partner revealed that they decided to buy the Viva driver, Celine Tan a Perodua Myvi to replace her totalled vehicle.

“Actually, we found out that the lady’s car sum insured is low. If she claims for total loss, she might only get a few thousand ringgit, if insurance repair or claim total loss also takes a few months, so we immediately bought a Myvi for her, whereby the manufacturer year is newer than her Viva” Heng said.

The Myvi will have her business logo plastered on the car doors since Tan also runs an online business that sells clothes.

Meanwhile, Heng told Tan to proceed with the insurance claim and is not asking for the money back.

“We are not using money to cover things… We are just trying our best to minimise the damage caused to the victim’s life. We followed the proper procedure. Both went to the police station and we were given a summons. Both proceed to file for insurance claims. The insurance claim will still proceed, we told the lady to keep the money after getting the sum,” Heng added.

In a Facebook post, Tan expressed her gratitude towards Heng and his partner for their quick response to help.

“Thank you, the car owner of the other party. Thank you for compensating me with a money-making tool, the (Myvi) will have gorgeous designs and will be beautifully handed over to me. Their response is really attentive. Furthermore, I can get it in a short time.” Tan wrote.
