This crash happened in the UK at a "Big Breakfast" event. Think of this as cars & crumpets. Our theory is that the driver slammed on the brakes to slow down. The sudden slowness was needed as a police van was approaching. Whatever the cause his Mustang ended up hugging a tree and a ton of photographers were on hand to document the scene.

The cause of this crash looks to be one upmanship gone wrong. At this cars & coffee in Chicago an Audi RS7 pulls out like a badass. Not to be upstaged, the Mustang GT behind it does the same, quickly losing control and smacking into another car.

If you want to practice drifting, the exit of a cars & coffee event is not the place to do it. This guy could have easily wiped out in the crowd, but luckily he just ran into a fire hydrant. According to commentators, his hooning-and the hooning of others-helped give Cars & Coffee Charlotte a black eye, although the event is still running.

Okay I realize it's totally meme-ified at this point and it's a good joke and all. Something I've noticed that though, is that in like 95% of these Mustang crash videos, the vehicle crashes because of an overcorrection after countersteering in the first instance of oversteer. Look up Mustang crash video, I bet you whatever video you find this will be the case. Everyone likes to blame the drivers, and while undoubtedly this plays a part, is there something I'm unaware of that would make Mustangs more conducive to crashing for this specific reason?
