Two men have been detained on suspicion of dangerous driving after a crash involving two supercars in a Beijing tunnel on Saturday night, police in the capital said yesterday.
Yu, 20, driving a US$500,000 Ferrari, and Tang, 21, at the wheel of an US$800,000 Lamborghini, were traveling at speeds of more than 160 kilometers per hour in the Datun Tunnel, the police said.
Both cars collided with the tunnel wall and sustained serious damage. But there was only one injury, a woman in the passenger seat of the Lamborghini was slightly hurt.
Police said Yu was from Changchun City in northeast China鈥檚 Jilin Province while Tang is from Beijing. Neither has a job, police added.
Witnesses told The Beijing Times that the Lamborghini was in front of the Ferrari when they entered the tunnel at high speed around 9pm.
Photographs showed the front of the Lamborghini had sheared off.
The Ferrari sustained damage to the passenger side.
Blood tests revealed that neither driver had been drinking, the newspaper said.
The Beijing News quoted a witness as saying there were several other sports cars at the scene at the time of the crash.
Datun Tunnel has three lanes in each direction with a speed limit of 60 kilometers per hour.
The case caused a stir online as it happened just a day before 鈥淔urious 7,鈥 the latest instalment of the street-racing 鈥淔ast and Furious鈥 movie franchise had its premiere on the Chinese mainland.
鈥淎 warm-up activity for the new movie, perhaps?鈥 was one comment on Weibo.
