CHP: Man arrested after driving Lamborghini 100+ miles per hour in the wrong direction

MONTEREY, Calif. (KION) - CHP Monterey said its dispatch received multiple calls of exotic-type vehicles driving recklessly in the Carmel Highlands area on Saturday morning.

Minutes later, an officer saw a Lamborghini driving the wrong way in a curve at an excess of 100 miles per hour, according to the agency. CHP says the driver was attempting to pass three passenger vehicles who were traveling at the posted speed limit.

The Lamborghini's driver was arrested for reckless driving and his car was towed.
