An American national is facing charges after crashing a rented Lamborghini in canton Graubünden, and fleeing the scene of the accident.

The 46-year-old was with friends who had also rented supercars on the Flüela Pass.

Witnesses say the Lambo span on a corner and ended up in a gully.

The driver, unharmed, then got into another car and drove off.

The accident was called in by passers-by. The driver said he was unaware he had to wait for the police, although he had called the rental company to tell them.
