WATCH: Lamborghini goes up in flames at gas pump

A very pricey sports car in Missouri is now just a charred frame after it went up in flames.

The incident happened after the driver of another car pulled away with the gas pump still in the car.


A cell phone video admiring two exotic and very expensive sports cars bared witness to its demise that would hurt the heart of any car enthusiast.

If you look closely, you’ll see the van on the opposite side of the blue Lamborghini pull off with the fuel pump still inside.

“I’ve seen people drive away from pumps and make mistakes but never seen something to that extent with that much money being destroyed,” customer Thomas George said.

The driver of the red car, Parker Gelber, says in a Facebook post the pump sprayed fuel into the engine bay of the Lamborghini Huracan, and it ignited.

Photos show the $200,000 car engulfed in flames.

No one got hurt and Gelber’s red Ferrari only got covered in ash.

“Crazy, just blows my mind actually,” customer Brent Oesterle said.

Days after the incident, dozens of onlookers are stopping by the now blocked-off gas pump to snap a photo and take a look at what`s left.

“I feel sorry for their insurance company by seeing that and for the person that owns it, too,” Oesterle said.

Onlookers say this is a clear indication that drivers should always pay attention before, during, and after fueling.

Police say the driver of the van will not be charged.
