The scene of the EuroKars Pre-Owned showroom along
Alexandra Road, where one of its door panels was
shattered. …
A Lamborghini, drive
n out of a
showroom on Alexandra Road, was involved in an early morning
hit-and-run with a taxi on Wednesday.
Police
investigations have found that one of Eurokars
Pre-Owned managers, a 53-year-old Chinese man, drove the
$1 million car out from the showroom just after midnight.
He is believed to
have been behind the wheel when the white Lamborghini then hit a
taxi and drove off a few hours later.

Singapore understands that the manager turned himself in
at 9.50 pm on the same day.
The white
Lamborghini was traveling along Guillemard Road heading toward Paya
Lebar when it slammed into the back of a taxi at about 3 am. The
police have confirmed the accident.
The driver of the
taxi was unhurt and he was not ferrying any passengers at the
time.
Following the
hit-and-run, the manager parked the car at his own home and was
uncontactable to staff through the entire day,
reported The New Paper.
Even though the
incident was discovered by showroom employees when they arrived at
the scene in the morning, it is not clear why they did not file a
police report until 5.30 pm on Wednesday.
A glass door panel
was also found shattered at the front of the showroom housing the
Lamborghini. The police are still investigating the cause of the
damage.
Local papers
reported that the incident had not been recorded on closed-circuit
television, although the police were unable to confirm this.

Singapore was told that Eurokars Pre-Owned may not be
pursuing the matter because the manager was authorised to take the
car out of the showroom.
It is also
understood that the car has since been returned to the showroom's
general manager and has been sent for repairs.
