This Horrific Car Show Crash Left A Shelby Mustang GT500 Absolutely Demolished

The driver of this GT500 was attempting to leave a car show in style, when things went horribly wrong. He spins out, hits a Ram truck, and absolutely destroys his car - the airbags failed to deploy, and he was hospitalised as a result of the wreck

Oh. They won’t go in a straight line either.

Ouch

damn dude.

wow, savage of the year!!!

Oh snap!

Well done haha

Ouch. That’s gotta hurt.

He read ram right but couldn’t read dodge fast enough

He shouldn’t have Challenged it. He should have just Darted out of there and went on his Journey.

Looks like that ram had its brake lights on

He Mustang thought he was a bad ass. I wonder if he can a Ford his new insurance. I know his girlfriend, after she sees this Shelby leaving that dumbass. 😂😂😂

just love these puns XD

How is the side impact safety so poor? Passenger would have been seriously injured if it was at road speed

probably just another case of crash safety tests not being accurate of real world accidents.

It’s a Shelby GT500. Not a Volvo GT500

a low riding sports car vs a pickup truck and you’re surprised by the result?

In a car-v-car accident, it wouldn’t have been so bad (Source: Was in an accident in a 2012 GT that got broadsided by a BMW that ran a red light). The problem in this situation was that the truck’s bumper hit the very top of the door and gave way, while the box ended up hitting directly above the door and crushing where there was less protection. It’s like those accidents you see where cars drive under the backs of school buses.

The expectation is that theyre only going to travel in a straight line ~ front and rear protection

And that’s another reason why you don’t do that. Not to mention you could get the police called on the meet, and have it shut down.

Why didn’t the side airbags deploy? And i didn’t realize how bad the side impact protection of the Mustang was!? ITS SCARY!!!

Probably because the passenger seat wasn’t occupied (luckily)

Built Daewoo Tough

one thing only… thanks god there wasnt a passenger in the mustang…

It’s scary just thinking what the outcome would be.

Ikr, tbh the damage looks really bad and the car wasn’t even going that fast

Right? Seriously I thought I was the only one appalled by how that performed in the accident. He couldn’t have been going that fast and the damage was incredible, the passenger would almost surely be dead. Shame on Ford.
