Shelby Mustang GT500 Driver Wrecks Into Parked Bakkie [video]

With the South African launch of the all-new Ford Mustang happening in Cape Town this month, perhaps this video will serve as a pertinent reminder that a certain level of common sense, combined with a dab of skill, is required when showing off your powerful new rear-wheel-driven steed.

The owner of this Shelby GT500 displayed neither as he attempted to wow the crowd while leaving a car show. Losing control he managed to pick out a brand-new (and rather substantial) Dodge Ram on which to halt his momentum.

The driver of the GT was subsequently hospitalised.
