A police hunt is under way for the driver of a £250,000 luxury Rolls-Royce who fled the scene after being involved in an expensive collision with a £160,000 Lamborghini.
Footage captured by a surveillance camera shows the shocking moment the Rolls-Royce Ghost smashed into the rear of a red Lamborghini Urus in Walsal, West Midlands, on Tuesday.
Images of the scene, later shared by West Midlands Police on social media, showed the mangled front grill of the Rolls-Royce and the large dent the vehicle had been left with down the side.

They wrote: ‘Well…this is an expensive crash. I wonder if it was the cost or another reason why the Rolls driver left the scene?
‘Either way, we have his photo and will ask him very soon. Driver was not driving for the conditions and obviously can’t handle a car like this.’
As the clip begins, an unfortunate learner driver car makes its way down the road, passing the parked car.
