A Utah man who won a $380,000 Lamborghini in a convenience store chain’s contest says he crashed the sports car six hours after he got it.
KSL-TV reports the lime green Murcielago Roadster will head to a Las Vegas body shop Wednesday for repairs, days after David Dopp won it from Maverik stores’ “Joe Schmo to Lambo” contest.

The Lamborghini has front-end damage, a punctured wheel and scratches along the passenger side.

While she suspects her division might have bought a few more on her behalf, she says she knows of sailors who bought more than a hundred, so she was surprised to learn Monday that one of hers had been drawn as the winner.
