A recent car meet ended on a sour note, not because of bad weather, but due to a preventable accident.
A parked car, the innocent victim of a driver who lost control, became a stark reminder of the potential dangers that can erupt at these events.
This incident proved to be the last straw for the organizers of Coffee and Cars, a popular gathering for car enthusiasts that’s been around for over two decades.
Citing a rise in reckless behavior and a commitment to safety, they’ve made a controversial decision: a permanent ban on Ford Mustangs, Chevrolet Camaros, and Dodge Challengers and Chargers.
Despite the clear weather and open road, a Ford Mustang driver lost control and veered off course.
Luckily, the incident occurred in an empty parking lot, sparing any bystanders from harm. Fortunately, the driver and passenger emerged unscathed, seemingly thanks to a well-placed tree.
Security footage captured the accident’s bizarre sequence. The Mustang inexplicably swerved on the straight path before careening off the road.
The car then struck a tree, which ultimately stopped its descent and served as a barrier against a parked Ford F-150 truck below.
