The incident occurred in the city of Grand Rapids, Michigan, specifically at the intersection of Front Avenue Northwest and Sixth Street Northwest. According to the Grand Rapids Police Department (GRPD), a red Ford Mustang and a gray Infiniti Q50 were involved in a drag race occupying both lanes of the street. Instead of coming to a full stop at the flashing red light, they ran through it. Tragically, a black car traveling on the intersecting road collided forcefully with the side of the Mustang.

The driver of the Infiniti managed to avoid the spinning cars but the red Mustang ended up crashing on a black Dodge Charger that was parked on the side of the street. A woman in the passenger seat of the Dodge sustained non-life-threatening injuries, while all other individuals walked away uninjured despite the severity of the crash.

Following the upload of a video depicting the crash on Reddit, numerous negative comments were posted regarding the individuals involved in the drag race. Many users shared their own tragic experiences, recounting the loss of loved ones in similar incidents. Additionally, there was a prevalent sentiment that the legal consequences for such reckless driving behavior should be far more severe, as it is widely believed that many offenders escape with minimal jail sentences lasting only a few months.

According to a report by Fox 17, the driver of the Mustang involved in the crash is cooperating with the police investigation. However, the Grand Rapids Police Department is actively searching for the driver of the gray Infiniti Q50, who fled the scene. The authorities are urging anyone with additional information about the incident to come forward and contact the traffic unit. Alternatively, individuals can choose to submit an anonymous tip to Silent Observer, providing vital information that may aid in the investigation.
