Even in other countries, low-quality drivers are giving Mustang owners a bad name.
While all sorts of performance cars are captured on film crashing due to driver error, the Ford Mustang has become the poster-child for poorly-driven performance cars. The internet is rife with footage of Mustang drivers losing control and crashing, usually when leaving car shows around the USA. However, the video above proves that it isn’t just crappy drivers in the US giving Mustang owners a bad name. This group of pony car owners in Dubai all run into each other while leaving an event.
The Mustang crash in Dubai
We have searched the internet for more details on this Ford Mustang pile-up crash in Dubai, but sadly, we haven’t found any real details. All we know is that a group of drivers left some sort of “car meet” in the United Arab Emeries and everything went all to hell.
As you can see in the video above from the YouTube channel of David Griffith, it looks like nine newer Ford Mustangs headed out onto the road and seven of them sustained damage when they all piled up. It looks as though the first two cars in the group were unscathed, but the rest of them all have damage to the front, back or both ends.
The first damaged car is a black S550 Mustang GT and that car appears to have two more driven into the rear end – a silver S197 and a blue S197 with white stripes. The black Mustang has some rear end damage and it looks like the blue car has some front end damage, but as the cameraman moves further along, we can see that the damage intensifies.
The blue S197 Mustang GT has a white S197 jammed up under it, with significant damage to both cars and in the far lane, it looks as though another blue car with white stripes has run into the silver S197 that hit the black S550. The white Mustang has clearly been hit hard from behind by a blue S550 Shelby with gold stripes, doing a ton of damage to the back of the older car and the front of the newer car. Finally, a red S550 Mustang GT has shoved itself up under the back end of that Shelby, doing a ton of damage to both cars.

"Before I was old enough to walk, my dad was taking me to various types of racing events, from local drag racing to the Daytona 500," says Patrick Rall, a lifetime automotive expert, diehard Dodge fan, and respected auto journalist for over 10 years. "He owned a repair shop and had a variety of performance cars when I was young, but by the time I was 16, he was ready to build me my first drag car – a 1983 Dodge Mirada that ran low 12s. I spent 10 years traveling around the country, racing with my dad by my side. While we live in different areas of the country, my dad still drag races at 80 years old in the car that he built when I was 16 while I race other vehicles, including my 2017 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat and my 1972 Dodge Demon 340.
"Although I went to college for accounting, my time in my dad’s shop growing up allowed me the knowledge to spend time working as a mechanic before getting my accounting degree, at which point I worked in the office of a dealership group. While I was working in the accounting world, I continued racing and taking pictures of cars at the track. Over time, I began showing off those pictures online and that led to my writing.
"Ten years ago, I left the accounting world to become a full-time automotive writer and I am living proof that if you love what you do, you will never “work” a day in your life," adds Rall, who has clocked in time as an auto mechanic, longtime drag racer and now automotive journalist who contributes to nearly a dozen popular auto websites dedicated to fellow enthusiasts.
"I love covering the automotive industry and everything involved with the job. I was fortunate to turn my love of the automotive world into a hobby that led to an exciting career, with my past of working as a mechanic and as an accountant in the automotive world provides me with a unique perspective of the industry.
"My experience drag racing for more than 20 years coupled with a newfound interest in road racing over the past decade allows me to push performance cars to their limit, while my role as a horse stable manager gives me vast experience towing and hauling with all of the newest trucks on the market today.
