A Fiat Chrysler dealership lost lots of cars to a major flood in northeast New Jersey on Saturday. A now-viral video shows a number of vehicles getting carried away like toys in a creek by a violent torrent before crashing into a bridge and into each other. The resulting mountain of soaked and bashed-up trucks and…

Richard Rawlings, the television show host, energy drink impresario, and restaurateur, has tried his hand at drag racing and failed in gloriously impressive fashion. While racing against NHRA Top Fuel ace Leah Pritchett, Mr. Rawlings skidded into the left side k-rail of the makeshift track on Woodward Avenue in…

A Chevrolet S10 pickup drove into a sinkhole in Worcester, Massachusetts on Tuesday, and the back of its cab appears to have just floated right off the frame. It’s bizarre.

Things got more serious than usual at the NASCAR-sanctioned Bowman Gray Stadium in North Carolina over the weekend, where videos show a local police officer pulling a gun on a driver who hit another car under caution. Both drivers were suspended, and police said afterward they were investigating the incident.

Rallying is hard. Driving flat out on unpredictable road surfaces with people, other cars, and buildings as occasional obstacles is hectic, and even with a co-driver giving you directions as you progress through a hot stage, mistakes can be made, and often with far more dire consequences than racing a closed circuit…

We’re pretty lucky to be living in an era when racing is pretty safe, all things considered. We aren’t having Le Mans 1955-style accidents or seeing drivers die on the regular. But no one is infallible, and every so often we have a shocking reminder that we can’t get complacent.

We may have reached a new low as a nation this week (didn’t seem possible, I know, but here we are) when the National Transportation Safety Board—an agency whose job it is to determine causes of accidents—felt it had to make a statement telling people to stop hopping out of moving cars to dance to Drake’s new banger…

We’re used to seeing crashes on the infamous Nurburgring, but few are quite as violent as the wreck that totaled this Volkswagen Scirocco.

If you’ve ever gone to a rally event, you know things can get real sketchy real quick. It’s part of the beauty of the sport—spectators help shove cars back on track that go careening into the forest, cars fly by with huge chunks of the bodywork missing and everything else held together with duct tape. But sometimes,…

On July 6, a 23-year-old woman in California crashed her Jeep Patriot off a roughly 250 foot cliff near Big Sur, and wound up stranded for a week at the base, just along the shore. To avoid dehydration, the California Highway Patrol apparently stated, the woman drank from her car’s radiator. It’s a good story, and…

No matter what the wreck-filled commercials and the popular, continually recycled historic footage might lead you to believe, most racing crashes aren’t reminiscent of Hot Wheels cars flying off of a poorly built ramp. This one was.

Mitchell Loewen, the 25 year old defensive lineman for the New Orleans Saints football team, was part of a group of bystanders that helped rescue a man who became trapped in his Mercedes G-Class after it drove over the edge of a parking garage Sunday afternoon.

Despite the team boss saying political ads weren’t allowed, Formula 2 driver Santino Ferrucci—who drew near-universal ire this weekend for running into his teammate after the race ended and holding a phone while driving from the support paddock to pit lane—and his family “insisted” on trying to run President Trump’s…

Police in Los Angeles responded late Sunday to a head-on crash involving a Lamborhini Huracán and a Ford Mustang that, according to the Los Angeles Daily News, left two men injured.

It’s been a tough season for Toro Rosso driver Brendon Hartley. And things just got a whole lot harder during a Saturday morning Formula One free practice session at Silverstone. When, uh, his front-left suspension decided it didn’t feel like working anymore, and he went careening through the gravel and into wall…

Given that modern cars are packed to the brim with airbags that can deploy almost instantaneously, it’s hard to ensure that they always are out when necessary but not creating a spontaneous bouncy house for no reason.

This crash is the stuff of nightmares—not just racing-themed nightmares, but, like, all nightmares. This is the equivalent of being trapped in a glass box with nowhere else to go, seeing all of the improbable ways to escape while constantly getting hit by other objects also stuck in that glass box.

European Formula 3 driver Ameya Vaidyanathan epitomized the whole “look where you want to go” advice in operating a vehicle over the weekend, when he slammed a stalled car at the start of a race. Now, officials are looking at whether he “meets the standard of ability and awareness” for F3. Ouch. That’s harsh.

It’s one of the basic tenets of driving: keep your eyes on the road because you tend to direct your car to whatever you’re looking at. That’s why rubbernecking at a side-of-the-road crash is kind of terrifying. But as it turns out, even race car drivers aren’t immune to the seductive call of driving directly into…

This Sunday, Formula One returns to its birthplace of France for the first time in a decade. The hype trains have been cruising at full force ever since the announcement was made that Paul Ricard would be on the calendar… but the start of the race didn’t exactly display the finessed driving that you’d expect from the…
