Crashes

We have a new video of yet another crazy scene taking place on a road in Russia. This time it involves a hit and run victim chasing after the perpetrator and exacting his own revenge. At the start of the clip an old Lada is seen crashing into the side of a red hatchback. The driver of the Lada then...

By now, nearly everyone in the United States, racing fan or not, has seen Jeremy Foley and Yuri Kouznetsov’s horrific crash during Sunday’s Pike’s Peak Hill Climb. The driver and co-driver even made an appearance on NBC’s Today Show, where Foley admitted that his last...

A 20-year-old man crashed a white Ferrari California in the Russian city of Samara earlier this week, with the pricey sports car ending up in a barrier shielding off a construction site. According to its driver, the accident occurred when he tried to avoid a pedestrian that suddenly stepped onto...

A very rare convertible version of the Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona has crashed in Germany, with the driver of the car claiming the brakes failed. Sadly, the damage looks to be rather severe, with the classic Ferrari, of which only 122 examples were ever made with the convertible body, hitting a tree...

With 1,400 horsepower on tap, everything happens quickly in Paul Dallenbach's Banks Power Pikes Peak car. When the throttle sticks open, things happen way too quickly. Things like flying off the mountain into a stand of tall pine trees. That's exactly what this video shows. Amazingly, perhaps as...

Yesterday, while many of his friends were autocrossing near Dallas, Texas, they were thinking about Jeremy Foley. Why? Because he'd be running up Pikes Peak in a 560-plus-horsepower (at the wheels) Mitsubishi Evolution by Evolution Dynamics. That's Most of our idea of a very good day. But...

We have to thank the ever-present threat of insurance fraud for Russia's dashcam video boom, or we might never have seen these gun-wielding Russians chasing a hit-and-run driver until it ends in a crash and a foot chase. If you listen closely near the beginning of the video when the chasing car...

Video footage has been captured of a late model BMW M3 Coupe crashing into a concrete center divider at high speed after its driver loses control of the car in very wet conditions. The M3 is seen overtaking another vehicle on the right when suddenly it hits a large patch of water and then careens...

Spies have laid eyes and lenses on the 2013 BMW Z4, showing us a car that's not so much new as mildly updated. A new M Performance model may be on the way, however, potentially outdoing the Z4 sDrive35is. A Pagani Zonda GR race car crashed in an incident with an Audi A4 DTM car during a race at the...

Rubbing, it’s said, is racing, and that may hold true in certain forms of motorsports. Punting your competitor because you don’t want to finish second, however, isn’t racing unless we’re talking about demolition derby. A Pagani GR, as far as we can tell, has never been...

The driver of a Mercedes-Benz CL Class and the occupants of at least four other cars are lucky to be alive following a violent crash that took place recently. Captured on video, a white Mercedes-Benz CL Class is seen speeding into view down the middle of road and eventually crashing into oncoming...

Gumpert’s Apollo supercar is known to be both stunningly quick and utterly unforgiving of mistakes, as British Touring Car Championship driver Tony Gilham found out at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed. During what was supposed to be an exhibition run up the Goodwood hill, with...

Legal obligations aside, let us throw out a moral question: if you saw someone motionless in the street, critically injured following a hit and run accident, would you phone for police and render aid, or would you snap a pic of the dying victim and Tweet about it? A nineteen-year-old driver in...

Racing is serious business, and the crews that train for the furious action required at pit stops, like the Telmex-sponsored Chip Ganassi Racing crew shown here bowling over a privileged spectator during a driver and tire change practice run at the Brickyard Grand Prix last weekend. The coordinated...

It should go without saying that we're fans of motorsport, including both those about grip and those about slip. But it should also go without saying that you should confine your motorsports activities to suitable environments, like tracks. When you don't, you not only risk your life and the lives...

F1 test driver and racer Maria de Villota has left the hospital, 17 days after a serious accident during straight-line testing for the Marussa F1 Team. Marussia's initial investigation into the incident excluded the car as the cause of the crash, and the team is now expected to conclude a series of...

Warning: Video contains some NSFW language As drivers we have certain responsibilities on the road. One of those responsibilities is to not run people over on purpose. Unlike the driver in this video, most of us usually adhere to that rule pretty well. It's unclear what exactly set off this...

It turns out that the Ford GT40 that met its demise over the weekend when its driver lost control on a highway in Tennessee in the rain isn't the real deal but a replica made to look like an original 1966 model. The owner of the car, a resident of North Carolina, is said to have been traveling at...

Video footage taken by a man traveling north on a highway in Collins, Mississippi, shows a frightening crash involving another man driving down the opposite side of the highway in the wrong direction. Taken earlier this month, the footage shows a car speeding down the wrong side of the highway for...

We've come to expect the worst from Florida. Weird things just happen there, every day, as if the bizarre and unspeakable were the state's chief export. In fact, that may be the case. But in the case of this Hertz rental Corvette, flipped on its lid in a watery roadside ditch, there's nothing at...
