City centre gridlock caused after wedding saw street blocked by FIVE Lamborghinis worth £200k each
THIS is astonishing moment a city centre came to a grinding halt after FIVE Lamborghini supercars parked up in the middle of a road.
The motors – worth £200,000 each – blocked the busy road causing gridlock for other drivers.
The supercars were parked in the middle of a road in Birmingham and left no room for legally parked vehicles to move.
The audacious owners of the Lamborghinis are believed to have left the vehicles to attend the start of a wedding.

The footage was taken by Garry Prentice – a business owner on the road - who says he has faced “horrendous” parking in the road for years.
Speaking to the he said: “This is just a regular occurrence, they turn Hurst Street into a car park. It is simply not accessible especially on a weekend.
“I took the footage on a Saturday and it is regularly as bad as seen in the video.
“I’ve even put cones outside on the road to stop people parking there, but they simply remove them.”
The wedding venue, Second City Suite, says they quickly moved the supercars.
But Mr Prentice added: “Drivers park there to attend weddings at the nearby Second City Suite. They can be at the wedding all day, meaning we can’t get our cars out.
“I have contacted the police and Birmingham City Council but nothing gets done. The road is literally a car park.”
A spokeswoman for Second City Suite said the incident had been a ‘one-off’ and that the drivers, all guests at a wedding, had quickly moved their vehicles.
She said: “They are not our cars. There have been problems in the past but that is usually caused by cars doing ‘drop and go’.”
Earlier this month a Met police officer wrongly confiscated a £200,000 Lamborghini and then took it on a joyride at more than double the speed limit.
The officer seized the vehicle near Heathrow Airport and then sped through the streets of west London in the white Lamborghini Huracan.
He reached 63mph in a 30mph zone, according to an onboard tracking device.
As punishment, the officer was given three penalty points on his licence.
