The grey two-seater had stopped on the M1 near Wakefield due to a mechanical failure when another driver plowed into the back of it. 

West Yorkshire Police tweeted: “It’s only a car! 

“But on this occasion a 20 minute old brand new Lamborghini that stopped due to mechanical failure in lane 3.

“Hit from behind by an innocent motorist #couldhavecried.”

A police spokesperson confirmed the Lamborghini and a van had collided.

The van driver was left with head injuries which are not believed to be serious.

Twitter user Kris Shortland joked: “Let’s hope they took out insurance!”

The crash caused some delays on the southbound carriageway while the vehicles were recovered.

All lanes were reopened by 2.50pm.
