A new Lamborghini driven by a Singaporean man caused a minor pileup on the Don Mueang Tollway on Saturday morning.

The accident took place in the southbound lane of the elevated tollway, near Don Mueang airport.

Emergency responders and police who arrived at the scene found light poles and a barrier strewn along the roadway and heavy traffic. A Toyota Vigo pickup truck with its front end heavily damaged was found overturned near a Toyota Altis.

Farther up the tollway was a yellow Lamborghini that had also sustained heavy damage.

Five people were injured, including a husband and wife in the pickup truck, and three people in the Altis. All of them were taken to hospital.

The driver of the Lamborghini, a 51-year-old Singaporean national who was not named, was unhurt.

Initial investigations found the supercar had been driving erratically and speeding before hitting the Altis, sending it into the light poles where it was then rear-ended by the pickup, which also slammed into the barrier before turning over.

The Lamborghini driver has been taken in for further questioning, and police are reviewing video from the scene to determine charges and damages.
