According to several local reports, the guy behind the wheel was Diafra Sakho -- a striker for West Ham United.
26-year-old Sakho reportedly lost control of the Lambo around 9PM on Sunday night and ended up in the garden of a home in Hornchurch, Essex.
The homeowner described the scene to local media outlets ... saying, "At around nine o'clock last night we heard it going up the road, it was unmistakeable - it's a racing car isn't it?"
"We heard it accelerate and then just heard a big bang, like an explosion and a thud -- that's when I walked out.
