A teenager doing donuts in a Ford Mustang GT on a residential street almost killed a couple when he lost control, sending the muscle car barreling through a house. It’s a shocking reminder of the power behind performance vehicles, which is why they shouldn’t be abused by those who get behind the wheel.
A family claims a classic car dealer owes them big money.
We’ve included footage from inside the house of when the Mustang came crashing through the wall, almost killing the man, woman, and their dogs. It’s a sudden, violent impact, really hammering home how close they all came to either instant or a slow, painful death.
The incident happened in Phoenix, Arizona back in early September. We wanted to touch on topic now in part because the couple, who was displaced from their home by the crash hasn’t reached their GoFundMe campaign goal and also to remind gearheads they need to be responsible while enjoying their ride.
That includes not handing the keys to your high-powered muscle car over to an inexperienced, reckless driver. In this case, the 18-year-old kid who was ripping around in the Mustang GT was allegedly intoxicated. We don’t know if the car was his, but we’re going to go out on a limb and say it probably wasn’t.
A Dodge Ram parked outside the house likely saved the woman from certain death, the man told Daily Mail. The pony car hit that truck first, causing it to change direction just enough that the car came crashing through the wall a little bit away from her instead of right where she was in the footage.
