A 22-year-old driver of a Lamborghini Urus was yanked out of his $300,000 SUV seconds before it exploded into a massive ball of flames killing a 21-year-old female passenger instantly. 

Before the fireball, the driver had been on 10th Avenue under an elevated subway track near 213th Street. He slammed into a pillar when trying to maneuver past another vehicle. 

Footage posted online shows three New York City police officers rush towards the vehicle and pull the injured man from out of the driver's seat. 

As officers attempt to get to the passenger side of the vehicle, the supercar bursts into flames as officers are seen running for cover. 

The unnamed 21-year-old passenger died, and the driver was taken to the hospital, where he was in critical condition.

Jordan Armstrong posted the video of the fiery crash on the Citizen app. In the footage, Armstrong says, 'What the f***?'  as the noise of a commuter subway passes by. 

A woman, who was also watching the dramatic footage, exasperated responds, 'Holy Crap ... Oh My God ... Is that person dead?'

A female witness said they saw a person's leg sticking out of the Lamborghini, but said it was so 'disturbing' they walked away before the car erupted into flames, The Daily News reported. 

Some people wondered if the Lamborghini was evading police when he crashed, given how officers were quickly on scene. Officials from the NYPD did not respond in time for this report. 

The driver of the Lamborghini was transported to Harlem Hospital in critical condition. He has not been charged, but police are still investigating,  

The 37-year-old man driving the Hyundai Elantra overtaken by the Lamborghini was also taken to Harlem Hospital. He sustained minor injuries and was in stable condition, officials said.
