A Lamborghini with flames shooting out its exhaust was pulled over by Victoria police just after midnight Saturday.

The vehicle was pulled over in the 2000 block of Douglas Street after a patrol officer noticed flames from the car’s exhaust, a police officer said in a social-media post.

Police said the driver was found to be impaired by alcohol. He was suspended from driving for 90 days and had his vehicle impounded for 30 days.

Under the Motor Vehicle Act, a 30-day impound and 90-day prohibition occur when a driver’s blood-alcohol level exceeds 0.08.
