A man who won a £242,000 Lamborghini in a competition crashed it six hours after it was delivered.

The Murcielago Roadster was in a Las Vegas body shop for repairs, days after David Dopp won it a contest from a convenience store chain..

Mr Dopp said he was taking friends and family on joy rides when he hit ice or gravel and started spinning. The car hit some fence posts and came to rest in a field.

The Lamborghini has front-end damage, a punctured wheel and scratches along the passenger side.

Mr Dopp was not injured in the crash and said the vehicle was insured.

He also said he will be more careful next time.
