THE FEDS CRASH INTO A LAMBO.

Marlowe Treit was driving his dream car -- a flawless 1985 Lamborghini Countach -- on a road through the Aurora Airport last spring when something went horribly wrong.

A Cessna had collided with Treit's black Lamborghini, slicing into the exotic car and badly mangling one side. The front propeller churned up the driver's side of Treit's prized car -- the one he bought in 1998 as a 60th birthday present to himself after spending two years looking for the perfect model.

And what about that Cessna? Turns out a trio of FBI agents were in the plane, which was leased by the feds. Two of the federal agents, John Jeffries and Robert Brockmeyer, were co-piloting the plane that day in May 2006, according to federal court filings. The agents were on a "familiarization flight," according to the National Transportation Safety Board's report on the incident.

"Out the left side window of the aircraft I saw a small black sports car dart from under the prop moving to my left, gushing fluid," the unidentified agent wrote.

Treit, who lives in Aurora and owns a business at the small airport, this month filed a lawsuit against the U.S. government, accusing the pilots of negligence. He is asking for $105,500 in damages.
