Illinois State Police today were investigating an overnight crash on the Edens Expressway of a Lamborghini luxury sports car belonging to Chicago Bears linebacker Lance Briggs.
The heavily damaged 2007 Lamborghini Roadster was found around 3:14 a.m. off the northbound lanes of Interstate Highway 94 near Devon Avenue, Illinois State Police Sgt. Theodore Whittier said. No one was found inside the car and there was no indication that anyone was injured in the crash, Whittier said.
Temporary Texas license plates were on the car, but permanent Illinois license plates registering the vehicle to Briggs were found inside, Whittier said.
It was not immediately clear whether Briggs was driving the Lamborghini at the time of the crash or whether anyone else was in the car.
The vehicle had not been reported stolen, Whittier said.
A Chicago Bears team spokesman could not immediately be reached for comment early this morning.
