Two of the world’s most exclusive cars have been involved in a costly accident at the hands of a Crown Casino valet.
The key to two Lamborghini Aventador Ultimaes was handed over to parking staff at the Crown Casino in Perth on Wednesday night, but one of them lost control, rear-ended the other and then crashed into a wall.
The cyan and purple supercars are the latest make of the Italian manufacturer’s popular Aventador model and are owned by virtual gaming billionaire Laurence Escalante, and cost around $1 million each.
The key to two Lamborghini Aventador Ultimaes was handed over to valet staff at the Crown Casino in Perth on Wednesday night, but one of them lost control, rear-ended the other and then crashed into a wall.
Pictures taken just after the crash that were posted on Instagram showed damage to the cyan Lamborghini’s front bumper, which will cost around $20,000 to replace.
The video, titled “Our Rentals Crashed”, shows the powerful V12 engines moments after the crash, with the valet looking off into the distance in shock.
“I really fucked up now,” the valet can be heard saying to the nearby staff.
“No way brah, you just got ripped off,” the man behind the camera tells the valet.
The valet, still in shock, can be seen smiling and trying to explain how the accident happened after seeing the extent of the damage.
‘See how those two pedals are too close together? I was hitting the brake and then it just went away,’ she said.
The man behind the camera replies, “You sped it up and you fucked it up.”

The valet then throws his hands to his head in disbelief at what has just happened, before turning to Mr Jones and saying ‘you can’t video us sir’.
Mr. Escalante, a car enthusiast, took to his Instagram Story to vent his frustrations against Crown Casino and the valet.
“Only two of the last Aventadors…Crown’s insurance is going to suffer,” he wrote.
‘[It] sucks, lessons learned everyone.
It will be resolved and arranged by the crown.
He then said that the cars had been taken to a repair shop to be fixed.
Social media users were furious about the damage done to super luxury cars.
‘Imagine crashing a lambo… INTO ANOTHER LAMBO,’ wrote one user.
‘homie thought he was in GTA [Grand Theft Auto]’ wrote another.
Footage taken shortly after the accident shows the valet in shock as he realizes his costly mistake, claiming that the two pedals were too close together and accidentally accelerated.
Crown Resorts confirmed that two vehicles were damaged in the driveway of Crown Towers Perth shortly after 9pm on Wednesday night.
“The safety of Crown team members and guests remains our priority.
“We are conducting a full assessment of the incident together with those involved.
“There were no injuries from the incident.”
