A motorcyclist is facing impaired driving charges after allegedly racing a Lamborghini on a rural road in Brantford, an incident that ended with the luxury sports car flying through the air and crashing onto a busy highway.
Brant County Ontario Provincial Police reported that the crash occurred on Highway 403 just east of Rest Acres Road around 11:30 a.m. on Sunday, May 31, 2026.
Details of the Incident
According to an OPP statement posted Tuesday on X, officers responded to a report of a vehicle that had gone airborne and landed in the median ditch. Upon arrival, they found a black Lamborghini resting in the centre ditch, with debris scattered across the westbound lanes.
Police allege that preliminary information indicates a motorcycle and the Lamborghini were racing on Pottruff Road, which ends in a cul-de-sac just south of Highway 403. The motorcycle stopped, and the driver fled the scene. The Lamborghini continued onto the highway, became airborne, cleared both westbound lanes, and came to rest in the median.
Injuries and Charges
The Lamborghini driver suffered serious injuries and was transported to hospital. That driver has not been charged at this point.
In a separate statement on Tuesday, OPP announced that investigators arrested the suspected motorcyclist, a 26-year-old individual from Paris, Ontario. Police did not release the motorcyclist's name or gender.
The motorcyclist is charged with operation while impaired with a blood alcohol concentration over 80, operation while impaired by alcohol and drugs, and failure to attend for court as per an undertaking. The accused was released from custody and is scheduled to appear in court in Brantford on July 10.
Video Evidence
Video posted on X by OPP West Region shows the demolished Lamborghini in the grassy median separating the eastbound and westbound lanes of Highway 403.
