text: Two 'unemployed rich kids' have caused outrage in China after causing a major traffic accident in central Beijing by racing and wrecking an underpass and two luxurious supercars. The spectacular crash on Saturday wrote a green Lamborghini off and wrecked a red Ferrari. Both drivers have now been charged by the local Public Security Bureau with dangerous driving and have been detained, according to the People's Daily Online. The green Lamborghini and red Ferrari - which are worth a combined total of £1.3million - are believed to have been racing through the underpass in Beijing when the drivers lost control and crashed . The green Lamborghini was completely wrecked during the crash and the front end was completely severed . Neither driver was hurt but a female passenger in the Lamborghini was taken to the local hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Although both of the drivers claimed the accident was caused by the slippery road conditions at the entrance of the tunnel, the state of the crash scene led Chinese internet users to speculate that the pair had been 'drag racing', which is illegal in China. The crash occurred two hours before 'Fast and Furious 7' broke the record for midnight screenings on its launch in China, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The 20-year-old driver of the Ferrari, Yu, from Changchun City in Jilin, and the 20-year-old driver of the green Lamborghini, Tang, a native of Beijing, are both reported to be unemployed - which fuelled more backlash from people online considering the two cars are worth in excess of 12 million yuan  - or £1.3 million. 'GuoPang' from Guangxi said 'Why didn't the drivers die? No Justice!' another 'Bluesky1963' from Hunan said simply 'The spoilt rich.' and 'dajianye' from Beijing said 'That part of the road has daily car races and the sound is deafening. This is definitely the result of car racing.' 'Socialism is so good that it allows unemployed people to drive supercars,' one posting said on Sina Weibo, China's version of Twitter, mocking the country's authoritarian system of Communist rule. 'What are their names? Who are their fathers?' one netizen asked. 'Were they in a hurry to watch Fast and Furious 7?' said another. Both cars caused extensive damage to the guard rail and a 10 metre section of the tunnel wall (pictured) The maximum speed inside the tunnel is 60km an hour. Eyewitnesses said that halfway through the 1.2km tunnel the speeding Lamborghini swerved suddenly and lost control. The Ferrari also lost control not long after and both cars caused extensive damage to the guard rail and a 10 metre section of the tunnel wall. The cost of the damage is expected to be recouped from the drivers. The People's Daily reports that the wreckage of the Lamborghini was around 100 metres from the Ferrari and that there were no brake marks visible on the road. Debris from the cars and damaged wall were scattered across the area and closed off a section of the tunnel. The drivers were not hurt but a passenger in the Lamborghini was taken to hospital with non-serious injuries . The crash is believed to have cost thousands of pounds worth of damage to the underpass . Local residents told reporters that the tunnel is a frequent spot for car racing especially between 11pm to 12pm - creating incredibly high noise levels which disturb local residents. Residents in the nearby Fengling Lvzhou estate said they have been complaining about illegal racing in the area for years. Representatives of the residents told People's Daily Online they hear engines rumbling every week and most races take place after midnight. This has not only disturbed their sleep but also brought serious danger to the road. Residents have appealed for more speed bumps in the tunnel to prevent racing from happening. A high-speed Ferrari crash in the capital in March 2012 killed the son of Ling Jihua, a close ally of then-president Hu Jintao. Two women passengers, one of them naked, were both injured. The incident added to public perceptions in China of corrupt and high-living officials, and Ling has since been investigated for graft and dismissed from his post. A 21-year-old driver crashed his Ferrari at high speed in the Chinese capital in February last year, killing one passenger and injuring another . Both drivers have been charged by the local Public Security Bureau with dangerous driving and detained .
