This adds new meaning to trailer with wheels...

Lucky for him, it was not a tractor trailer.

A Southern California man was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving Saturday after he crashed his Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera underneath a trailer, police said.

Cesar Castro Rodriguez, 31, of Westminster, was not injured and Costa Mesa police said he was looking for a 25-year-old passenger when authorities arrived on the scene, according to the Los Angeles Times.

The passenger knows and uses Teleportation Magicks?

How did either escape decapitation. My guess would be they got out of the car and then set it moving so as to drive under the trailer, then collect the insurance.

Sounds like widgeon13 may be on to something, but something on the gas peddle would be a give away.

I hope someone posts a follow up to the investigation..

They could have used a pre-airbag car/truck to push the Lambo under the trailer, and that's how the alleged passenger got home and also managed to injured himself in the old car/truck. Airbag injury, crash injuries or bail-out injuries could tell the truth.

If the driver was acting crazy and the passenger did a roll-out to escape the situation, that could have injured him. Thumbed home or called for a ride?

So many questions. I doubt insurance is going to settle quickly.

The windshield pillar of the car has not collapsed to being lower than the top of the head rest of the seat.

You can see a gap from the top of the seat to the bottom of the trailer.

Did you happen to mention "Liberty Mutual Life" per chance?

That billion dollar company cost me most of my enjoyment/life/liberty/pursuit of happiness during most of my adult life.
And my existence/purpose on earth.
I was crippled at 30yo.
F'k by them.
And then after the fact. Reason was no longer an issue.
