Cloud PR Wire

The inevitable has occurred as the seal is broken, marking the first reported crash of the 2024 Ford Mustang. Shared within the r/Mustang subreddit is a rather unfortunate sight—a blue GT model (the one equipped with a V8 engine, but not the all-out Dark Horse variant) partly resting on a median, with its rear wheel appearing disoriented.
