Maryland man who visited sick children as Batman dies in car crash

A Maryland man who was known for visiting sick children while dressed up as Batman died on Sunday night after his black Lamborghini broke down on the highway, the Washington Post reports. 

Lenny Robinson had been visiting children in hospitals since 2001, but became famous after a video of him being pulled over by police in full costume and driving his batmobile - a black Lamborghini- vent viral in 2012. 

Robinson's Lamborghini broke down Sunday night as he was driving home from a car show. He stopped the car partially on the fast lane to check what the problem was.

A car then hit his batmobile, which then hit him. Robinson was pronounced dead at the scene. 

In 2012, Robinson was pulled over for not having a proper license plate, but by the end of the video, the officers are seen shaking his hand and taking pictures of him next to the Lamborghini.
