Ford Mustang Mach 1 Accident

The car seems to have lost control at a fairly high rate of speed before impacting the tree and completely wrapping itself around it. This is quite an old car and with a big heavy engine up front it might make it 'easier' to have 'folded' like this. No details on the driver as yet but I am sure some extremely serious injuries (if not fatal) would have been the case.

Car Accident - Ford GT Accident

The Ford GT is a revival of names such as Mustang and Thunderbird. Too bad .. this car is smashed up! The Ford GT was a sports car and winner of the 24 hours of Le Mans four times in a row, from 1966 to 1969. It was built to win long-distance sports car races against Ferrari (who won at Le Mans six times in a row from 1960 to 1965). The car was named the GT after the Grand Tourisme category it was intended to compete in and its overall height of 40 inches (1.02 m, measured at the windshield) as required by the rules. Large-capacity Ford V8 engines (4.7 L and 7 L) were used, compared with the Ferrari V12 which displaced 3.0 L or 4.0 L.
