A mystery Brit crashed his £335,000 Lamborghini Aventador moments after a couple filmed several sports cars overtaking them on dangerous bends on a Spanish road.

The damaged vehicle became an unexpected tourist attraction after the accident near the town of Colunga in the northern province of Asturias.

Local reports said the unnamed driver was injured after hitting his head against the broken windscreen.

The accident happened just before 6pm on Monday near a beauty spot known as the Mirador del Fitu.

Witnesses said it occurred moments after a Spanish couple filmed several UK-plated Lamborghinis overtaking them at speed.

The video filmed by the woman passenger showed some of the powerful sports cars went past them on sharp bends and crossed single continuous white lines where overtaking is not allowed.

The man with her could be overheard saying: 'Two or three are coming up behind me, this is amazing' after three of the cars had passed them at speed.

The woman added: 'They're making me nervous, they can't see what's coming round the bend,' as a red Lamborghini overtook them on a continuous white line and she yelled: 'F*****g hell, right on the bend' during another dangerous overtaking manoeuvre by two more cars.

It was not immediately clear if the Lamborghini involved in the smash was among the vehicles they filmed, although it was the same blue colour as the third car that went past the Spanish couple at speed.

Local traffic police identified the drivers, who have been staying at five-star hotels in the area, during a stop on Wednesday.

They are understood to have launched an investigation to see whether any of the Brits have committed infractions at the wheel.

No-one from the regional Civil Guard force, the police force behind the probe, was immediately available for comment this morning.

The Lamborghini Aventador is named after a fighting bull. It was launched in February 2011 at the Geneva Motor Show.

Production of the Aventador was planned to be limited to 4,000 vehicles but in 2016 it achieved the 5,000 unit milestone.

The earlier cars were capable of 0-60mph in 2.9 seconds and had a top speed of 230mph.

Later models like the Aventador Super Veloce Jota can do 0-62mph in 2.8 seconds.
