The accident at Ocean Avenue and San Vicente Boulevard occurred about 2:30 a.m., Santa Monica police Sgt. Shane Talbot said.
The driver, David August Johnson, and a male passenger in the Italian sports car were taken to a hospital to be checked out, but neither appeared to have been seriously injured, Talbot said.

A woman who lives near the intersection said she heard a high-powered car going up and down Ocean Avenue shortly before the wreck.

The silver-colored Lamborghini appeared to be totaled, and at least two of the parked cars were heavily damaged.

Lamborghinis, most of which are powered by a V-12 engine, are among the most powerful and expensive street-legal vehicles made.
