Winter hit Europe quite heavily last week. An unfortunate victim was this Lamborghini Gallardo which hit a guard rail on the A45 near Freudenberg. German newspaper, Rhein Zeitung reports that the driver had been heading towards Dortmund, travelling a little too fast for the conditions, and had simply lost control.

Fortunately both driver and passenger walked away uninjured. The accident serves as a reminder that, even with a permanent four wheel drive system and winter tyres, it pays to be careful during snowy weather.
