Yet another Ford Mustang crash ended in a fiery wreck, this time in Canada, proving the pony car attracts reckless drivers beyond our own borders. The driver escaped with his life, despite the vehicle being a mangled, charred mess, and it’s all thanks to some Good Samaritans who came to his rescue.
Yet another Porsche 911 GT3 RS crashes on an infamous road.
The crash unfolded in East York, Ontario with police saying the Mustang was possibly speeding on a road late at night, the driver failing to stick a sharp turn. Overrunning the street, the pony car sped into a parking lot and hit a concrete barrier, reports City News.
That hard impact crumpled the Ford so much the driver was trapped. At the same time, a fire ignited. Some people who witnessed the crash ran over with a fire extinguisher, holding the flames at bay until firefighters showed up, gave the Mustang a haircut, and pulled the driver out to safety.
All we know about the driver is he’s a man in his 30s, so old enough to know better. Yet even with years of driving experience, he still overestimated his and the car’s capabilities, pushing things too far and learning in a hurry that was a horrible idea.
We know how intoxicating it can be to feel the power of some cars and experience their superior handling dynamics compared to boring grocery getters. But pushing more powerful rides hard can come with serious consequences. All it takes is a road imperfection, some loose gravel, or moisture on the pavement to send your ride literally spinning out of control.
This is why as boring as it may seem, driving within the speed limit is wise. If you want to really push the envelope, there are places designed for just that: racetracks. Go get that out of your system there instead.
Now this driver not only lost his Mustang, he might be dealing with some injuries for a while. Hardly worth it for a little thrill.
