Usually when there's a vehicle crashing into one that's parked, it's the Mustang that's the culprit. But in this home surveillance footage we see the tables get turned as a Ford Ranger crashes into a Mustang in one of the most brutal fashions imaginable.The video opens with the S550 Mustang parked outside a house on what appears to be a rural road. You can hear the Ranger approaching when it collides with something and you see it come into frame, kicking up dust on the far shoulder of the road before it literally goes sideways at a good clip.
As it travels across the driveway skirt to the house and then off onto the soft shoulder, which appears to have a skiff of snow, the higher center of gravity works against the Ranger. The truck rolls one time, the Mustang perhaps stopping it from rolling any more.
That's right, the Ranger lands on top of the back end of the pony car, arresting its movement in a good way, at least for the driver in the pickup. Speaking of him, he gets out of the cab, avoiding serious injury as the roof has been partly caved in.
Instead of standing there and assessing the damage while thanking his lucky stars he's still alive, the guy tries slamming the truck door behind him as if he's annoyed. When the door doesn't just catch since the body is all messed up, he seems a little shocked.
Then the guy just walks casually around his wrecked truck that's on top of a Mustang, spraying himself with something (Axe body spray, maybe?) before he just walks casually off like nothing happened.
The only people we know who like to spray themselves in a situation like that are smokers or alcoholics because they're trying to cover up the smell of what they've been doing. We're not saying this guy was doing either, but the latter would explain the crash and his just leaving the scene immediately.
In the meantime, the Mustang owner has probably dealt with a nightmare insurance claims process. What do you want to bet that old Ranger didn't have collision coverage?

Man who led officers on chase in 2 counties after shots fired arrested after stand-off

The Brief A call for gunshots evolves into a wild scene in Bucks County involving a stand-off, a chase and an officer being shot at. The chase ran across two counties and eventually ended after two and a half hours with a suspect taken into custody. MARLBOROUGH TOWNSHIP, Pa. - A wild scene that began in Montgomery County grew into a chase and ended with a stand-off in Bucks County before a suspect was taken into custody. What we know The calm of a Wednesday was interrupted as gunshots rang out in Marlborough Township, Montgomery County officials said. Right around noon, on Wednesday, police received many 911 calls about shots fired in relation to a man driving a black Mustang. More 911 calls then came in about a man threatening a bicyclist and shooting in woods nearby. Police responded to an address on the 1600 block of Swamp Creek and found the vehicle in question. Timeline The man then took off in the car, leading an officer on a seven-minute chase, while firing shots. He did not hit the officer or patrol vehicle. The chase then quickly ended a little before 12:15, at Ridge Road in West Rockhill in Bucks County where the man then holed up in a structure, firing multiple weapons at officers. Two SWAT units responded, along with numerous other police departments from Montgomery and Bucks counties. The stand-off ended peacefully, with the suspect being taken into custody without incident just before 2:30. What's next The suspect is in the custody of Marlborough Police and they expect to file charges.
