A 34-year old driver’s ownership of a brand-new 2015 Challenger Hellcat came to an abrupt end as he crashed it, reportedly an hour after he got the 707hp sports car from a nearby dealership.
The accident took place on the evening of December 19 near Brighton, Colorado, when the driver lost control of the Hellcat and smashed into a tree. While the car suffered damages up front, neither the driver nor the two passengers inside were hurt.
The crew over at TFLCar got its hands on the accident report by the Colorado State Patrol (CSP), which said:
“The 2015 Dodge Challenger Hellcat driver, 34-year-old Lance Utley of Winter Park, CO, was traveling northbound on Riverdale Rd. The driver lost control to the right, then overcorrected and lost control to the left, and struck a tree head on. There were two additional occupants in the vehicle. The driver was charged with careless driving. Drugs or alcohol were not involved. There was no mention of excessive speeding. All three occupants were unhurt.”
