Last year (December 10), a Murcielago Lamborghini split in half when it struck a pole on Del Dios Highway in North County San Diego.

According to witnesses, a black Lamborghini went off the highway near Elm Lane at 9:39 a.m., hitting a pole and bursting into flames.

And the driver survived. Hadee Assi is finally telling FACTZ what really happened that morning:

“I was driving straight on a straightaway, and the car decided to go left, all wheels locked up, and it [Lamborghini] began drifting left. Had I not been speeding, I could have recovered it.”

We asked Hadee how bad the injuries were. He told us, “I had a nine-hour back surgery, seven broken vertebrae with one alliterated, three broken ribs, and one collapsed lung. I stopped breathing twice in the ER. They had to do an induced coma to stabilize me. I spent 30 days in the hospital, and now I’ve gone from bedridden to a wheelchair, but finally, I’m using a walker. It wasn’t my time.”

FACTZ wishes Hadee Assi a speedy recovery.
