Police in Johannesburg, South Africa are investigating a bizarre crash from Thursday that claimed the life of an Audi R8 driver and a police officer who was also inside the car.

This might be the most destructive powerslide of 2013 so far. One Audi Ur-Quattro rally slides off course and manages to chop a telephone pole in half.

As we've said here before, the Dakar Rally is one of the most dangerous motorsports events on Earth. This became especially evident yesterday evening after a rally support vehicle was involved in a crash with two taxis, leaving two people dead and seven others injured.

Here we see a black sedan somewhere in East Asia smashing back and forth through a line of parked cars like it was a side street demolition derby. And I have no idea why it's going on.

Normally, car carriers are meant to protect cars from the dangers of the road during transport. However, if the guy driving the truck is one of the unlucky few who gets his trailer nailed by a train, well, I don't have to tell you how much protection that offers.

Going to the body shop is never really a pleasant experience. Most of the time it's because your car has been damaged and you need to get it fixed. But at the end of the ordeal you expect to have a car that's up to snuff and ready to hit the road.

A man in Meridian, Idaho this morning was seriously injured after living through a nightmare scenario for many of us: a giant piece of lumber came flying through his windshield while he was driving on the highway. You can't see it because Internet, but I'm cringing as I type this.

Motorists in Florida had a strong showing in 2012, and now it looks like they're off to a strong start once again in 2013!

Sad news today out of Oregon after at least nine people were killed and 20 others were injured when a charter bus plunged off an icy road, the AP reports.

Let's say you're on the road in a blizzard with next to no visibility. What should you do?

Here is your complete compilation of all the best crashes of open track days on the Nürburgring Nordschleife. Enjoy.

Driving an old supersports car on a wet highway is no easy task. Need proof? Watch this tuned NSX aquaplane off the freeway and nearly crash into a bridge.

What would we do without wedges? We wouldn't be able to split firewood so easily and doors would be slamming all the time. But in some cases, the wedge isn't so great; like when a wedge-shaped car crashes into the back of the car in front of it.

Damn kids, with their iPhones and whatnot, always carrying them around. For a teen in California, though, it – and a roll bar –- saved his life.

Have you ever sneezed while driving? You can't see a thing. Two or three sneezes in a row can mean utter blindness for what seems like an eternity. That's what happened to Antonio Zamora as he drove a three-axle truck through a town near Oakland, Calif. on Thursday.

In The Flintsones, which was the first ever reality TV show, Fred Flintstone drove a car that was stopped by foot power. Those brakes have long since become obsolete, replaced by discs behind the wheels.

Police have just released the 911 calls from the massive foggy pileup along I-10 outside of Houston on Thanksgiving Day that claimed 140 cars and two lives. In the two (of many) tapes you can hear the underlying panic as the pileup continued.

Whenever someone crashes through the barrier on the side of an overpass, it's never good news. When Matthew Hamilton, 38, drove his truck off the side of a bridge in Beaverton, OR this weekend, luck — and a really sturdy rear axle — saved him from plummeting onto the road below.

Nearly every single bridge these days has a height warning listed near them. If your vehicle is higher than what is listed on the warning, don't drive under the bridge.

We recently wondered if you can ever have too much horsepower. We're going to ask that question again in light of this Cobra Jet Mustang pulling a massive wheelie and summarily careening into the wall.
