Thirteen-year-old boy crashed a $500,000 Lamborghini during test-drive.
The boy destroyed a Lamborghini after deceiving the seller into thinking he was old enough to drive, then taking it on a joyride with his friend
The vehicle’s owner apparently failed to ask any questions about the teen’s age or license status before handing over the keys.
The youngster was travelling at 62mph when they lost control amid dark and rainy conditions on the Trans-Canada Highway

Police said the owner failed to ask any questions about their age or licenses before they set out on March 25.

They then plowed into a ditch off the Trans-Canada Highway in West Vancouver.
Police said the teen was not being charged with theft as the owner had permitted them to use the vehicle, which was in the midst of a sale process that would take a few days.
