The Louisville Metro Police Department made its stance on reckless driving unmistakable by crushing a 2021 Dodge Durango Hellcat. Video of the high-powered SUV being destroyed was shared by the department as a deterrent aimed at street racers and takeover crowds.
Not everyone agreed with the gesture, with some critics questioning the wisdom of demolishing a valuable vehicle rather than auctioning it. Still, the department clearly wanted a dramatic image, and a flattened Hellcat certainly delivers one.
