One person has been charged after a three-car crash involving a Lamborghini bursting into flames in an Auckland suburb.

Video has surfaced online of a Lamborghini driver attempting a dangerous overtake manoeuvre and crashing into two vehicles in Remuera, Auckland.

The luxury sports car can be seen attempting to overtake a Mini Cooper as it moves into the right-hand lane before clipping its front and then hitting a separate parked car.

Police said the incident occurred about 2.10pm on Saturday and emergency services were called to the intersection of Remuera Rd and Cotter Ave following reports of a three-vehicle crash.

The Lamborghini was seen catching fire in a separate video online, but police said this was quickly extinguished by Fire and Emergency and there were no reported injuries.

A 39-year-old man has been summonsed to appear in the Auckland District Court on November 14 charged with dangerous driving.

In a video supplied to the Herald, traffic can be seen building up around the crash as the wind blows smoke towards surrounding homes.

A signpost was bent on the footpath, and debris from the vehicles was strewn across the road.

A witness described the incident as a 鈥渃razy scene鈥.

The witness, who wished to remain anonymous, said the car had just started to smoke when they drove past.

鈥淭he smoke started to get quite big. People were sort of backing away, like we didn鈥檛 know if it was going to blow.

鈥淲e were definitely feeling quite anxious watching the whole thing. I felt bad for the owner.

鈥淚 was just like, of all the cars,鈥 they said.

On the crew鈥檚 arrival, no one was trapped in either vehicle.

The spokesperson said the blaze was extinguished shortly afterwards.
