A motorcyclist was killed Sunday morning when he alleged tried to race a Lamborghini near the Beverly Center, police said.

Police told KLTA News the incident occurred on La Cienega Boulevard when the motorcyclist pulled up to the sports car and tried to race.

The driver of the Lamborghini refused, and the motorcyclist sped off and struck the back of a BMW near Warning Avenue, police said.

“When he took off, he unfortunately didn’t see a vehicle that was up ahead of him and he collided into the rear of that vehicle,” LAPD Capt. Rolando Solano told the station.

5. People drag race on our major thoroughfares all day and night, without regard for how much traffic

there is. Ventura Blvd, my own "main street", is overrun with dragsters - usually spoiled local young males in recent, expensive black imports obviously bought by Daddy.

“When he took off, he unfortunately didn’t see a vehicle that was up ahead of him and he collided into the rear of that vehicle,” LAPD Capt. Rolando Solano told the station.
