A Lamborghini driver accused of hitting and killing a man on a moped in Las Vegas last weekend was reportedly going 141 mph in a 45 zone before the crash, car data showed, according to the arrest report.
‘I killed someone," an officer at the scene quoted Andrew James Rodriguez, 33, of Texas, as saying after he allegedly hit local resident Walter Anderson, 58, according to FOX 5 in Las Vegas.
Officers said they immediately suspected he had been drinking following the crash because his eyes were bloodshot and watery and he smelled of alcohol.
The Lamborghini Huracan had allegedly slowed to 127 mph at the time of the impact.
"The Lamborghini collided with the rear of the moped with such force that the moped became lodged under the right front of the Lamborghini," officers said, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
