One of only two Italian police Lamborghinis has been written off following an accident.
The ?150,000 Gallardo super car which was just a year old and complete in blue and white police colours, was involved in a smash after being cut up.
Two officers inside the 560 horse power car - complete with mini fridge used to transplant organs - suffered minor injuries in the accident which happened near Cremona.

A spokesman said the Lamborghini was cut up by another motorist who was leaving a petrol station and the officer at the wheel swerved to avoid it and hit another car but the driver was unhurt.
Italian police began using the Lamborghinis four years ago in a bid to clamp down on speeding motorists as it can reach 204mph.
The one involved in the smash was based in Bologna with the other in Rome.

The cars were donated by Lamborghini and tonight no-one from the classic sports car company was available for comment.
Italian police also used Ferrari and Porsche cars seized from Mafia criminals but in the summer announced they were scrapping them because they could not afford the maintenance costs.

Time for Lamborghini to donate another one (with maintenance covered).

If I crashed into a Lamborghini I'd kill myself even if I survived.

Now the italian police should get a one-off Reventon police car.

Cut up = cut off?

Make the offending motorist pay for the damaged Lambo = bigger punishment than jail could ever serve.
