18-Year Old New York Teen Dies In Lamborghini Test Drive

Fox News reports that a New York teen taking a test drive of a family friend's $200,000 Lamborghini has died after crashing the high-powered sports car into a guardrail. Police say 18-year-old Samuel Shepard was taking the car for a spin on a county road in Mount Sinai on Long Island early Friday when he lost
control. The car's owner, Michael Power, was a passenger in the car and was treated for nonlife-threatening injuries.
Det. Sgt. Michael Fitzharris told reporters that excessive speed is believed to be a factor in the crash. Police disclosed that the two were heading back to a parking lot. Of the test drive, Fitzharris said, "I think it was probably just a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the kid, and this man chose to give him this opportunity."
Shepard's father, Gene Shepard, says that Lamborghinis were his son's favourite car. The report said Shepard had recently graduated from high school and hoped to serve in the Army for a few years and become a police officer. "He knew exactly what he was going to do," his father concluded.
