Hotel valet crashes Lamborghini supercar into hotel wall causing Sh29.9 million damage

A valet at a five-star hotel might be looking for a new job after he crashed a Lamborghini Gallardo, causing nearly Sh29.9 millionin damage.
The front end of the super car was badly damaged when the valet, named by the Times of India as Arun Kumar, who was injured in the collision, appeared to lose control, hitting a concrete wall at the Le Meridian hotel in New Delhi.
The paper reports that the hotel had initially promised to pay for the works but later declined that offer and a complaint has been filed with police.
Nipun Mglani, who was borrowing the car, said: "The car had been parked by valets a number of times before.
"Even that afternoon, the valet took the car to the parking safely and even brought it back to the porch area without any hassles."
However, he somehow appears to have lost control, almost hitting another valet, before smashing into the barrier.
Nipun said that before the collision with the wall the Lamborghini hit another car causing it to spin round and hit another car.
