Suspect dies after crashing stolen $250,000 Lamborghini during 113 mph police pursuit

A man wanted on multiple felonies perished in a fiery wreck early on April 6th. The incident began in Los Angeles when police spotted the suspect, 51-year-old Elliott Dugan, asleep behind the wheel of a stolen $250,000 Lamborghini Huracán at the intersection of Sherman Way and Reseda Boulevard.

Police body camera footage captures the officers approaching the high-performance car. After requesting identification and discovering the vehicle was reported missing, along with outstanding warrants for Dugan, the officers instructed him to exit the vehicle.

In a defiant act, Dugan, allegedly boasting legal expertise, refused to comply. Once informed of the Lamborghini’s stolen status, he sped away, initiating a high-speed chase.

Surveillance video depicts Dugan reaching speeds exceeding 113 mph as he attempted to outrun the police on city streets. The pursuit, however, was tragically brief. The LAPD reported that Dugan lost control and collided with the center median with such immense force that the Lamborghini cleaved in two, ejecting his body a considerable distance.

Arriving at the scene, officers found the mangled remains of the Lamborghini engulfed in flames, with twisted metal debris scattered across the roadway. The impact also caused moderate to severe damage to several parked vehicles along Sherman Way, with car parts lodged in windows and roofs. Trees lining the median were similarly uprooted by the sheer violence of the crash.

Locating Dugan’s body took officers several minutes, as it had been thrown onto a nearby apartment complex sidewalk. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

The LAPD continues to investigate the incident and Dugan’s background, withholding further details for the time being.
