This is the kind of crash that gives the insurance agents a run for their money. A Rolls-Royce Cullinan collided with a lorry truck in central London and got everyone asking who was to blame.
A Rolls-Royce Cullinan and a lorry truck collided in central London. The police have yet to decide who is to blame. However, by the position of the two cars, it seems that the Rolls-Royce driver tried to overtake the truck that was already doing maneuvers to overtake a stationary truck. The truck driver must have failed to see the luxury SUV and steered right into its side.
The video shows the Cullinan with the hazard lights on and the Scania truck stuck into the driver's side front and rear door. The incident took place in Knightsbridge, a residential district in the heart of the British capital. It seems that both drivers will have some explaining to do when they contact their insurance agent.
The Rolls-Royce Cullinan is one expensive SUV. The base version sits at around $391,750. Having a truck slam into its side might be enough for the insurance company to label it as a write-off and send it either to an auction yard or to a scrap yard.
The Cullinan is set in motion by a 6.75-liter V12, which pumps out 563 horsepower (571 metric horsepower) and 627 pound-feet (850 Newton meters) of torque in an all-wheel drive setup. The V12 pushes the 6,171-pound (2,799-kilogram) SUV from a standstill to 62 mph (0-100 kph) in 5.2 seconds and to a top speed of 155 mph (250 kph).
Earlier this year, we featured a BMW M4, which crashed into a bicycle stand on a busy street in east London. Nobody was injured, and the driver decided to flee the scene right after the incident. But the car remained sitting on one of its own rear wheels as if it were a jack, with the other one up in the air. A severely deformed bike was trapped under the car.
Back in 2023, we showed a Lamborghini Aventador SVJ that T-boned a double-decker. It looked like the V12-powered supercar gave its last breath in that crash with all the 769 horsepower (770 metric horsepower) and 531 pound-feet (720 Newton meters) of torque, spilling on the ground. The Aventador SVJ is a $700,000 affair. So if the bus driver was to blame, the London Transport definitely did not enjoy covering the damage.
