Utah man wins Lamborghini, crashes it 6 hours later
SANTAQUIN, Utah - Dave Dopp, Frito Lays truck driver won a $300,000 Lamborghini in a contest - only he’s more comfortable behind the wheel of a long-haul truck than a Lamborghini. Dopp won the Lamborghini in a contest and crashed the car a mere six hours after picking it up.
He said he was taking friends and family on joy rides that evening on the outskirts of town. He said he took a curve at 40 or 50 mph when the vehicle hit ice or loose gravel and started spinning.
Dopp wasn’t injured, but his wife said she was shocked psychologically.
“My heart pretty much fell out,” Annette Dopp says. “They said they were OK. Then, you know, that feeling when your heart drops and you’re like, ‘Oh, my gosh. What do we do now?”‘
The 640-horsepower Lamborghini has front-end damage, a punctured wheel and scratches along the passenger side. The vehicle is in fact insured.
David Dopp said it was strange seeing the flashy, exotic car in his humble driveway. He told ABC 4 in Salt Lake City that he plans to sell the vehicle to pay off bills and buy his wife another car — as soon as the Lamborghini’s drivable again.
“It’s going to be all nice and pretty here in a couple of months, I’m sure,” David Dopp said.
