The black Hellcat sits nose first against a guardrail at the edge of an interstate, with pieces of bumper scattered across the grass and the shoulder. The driver behind the account @srtpovcat, which goes by SRT POV, walks around it with his phone, and the text he put over the opening frames tells the story in one line: “I crashed my hellcat on I-20 in Douglasville nobody was hurt.”

His caption is just as short: “Small setback I’m glad I’m not injured.” The 26 second video, posted in September 2026, is his own footage from the side of the road right after the crash. Through language this article will not repeat, he can be heard asking how the car slid off the road.

The camera shows a lot. The front of the car is pushed in where it met the rail, and a long section of the bumper cover lies on the pavement beside it. He turns toward the traffic lanes, where tire marks curve across the road surface and a dark chunk of the car sits on the asphalt, then reaches down and picks up a torn piece of black trim and carries it back. Heavy trucks and cars keep passing in the lanes beside him.

In the final seconds he walks along the driver’s side and back to the rear, past the orange and gold Hellcat graphic on the side of the car and a door standing open.

He does not say in the video or the caption what made the car leave the road.

The car he was driving belongs to a group the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has singled out. In its driver death rate report published July 13, 2023, covering 2020 models and equivalent earlier designs with deaths from 2018 to 2021, the IIHS listed the two wheel drive Dodge Charger HEMI at 118 driver deaths per million registered vehicle years and the two wheel drive Dodge Challenger at 154, against an average for all vehicles of 38. Those figures cover the model lines as a whole, not this crash.

If Your Car Leaves the Road on a Highway

Get clear of traffic first. In this video the driver walks along the shoulder and toward the lanes to collect debris while trucks pass close by. If you can, stay well off the road, behind the guardrail when there is one, and leave debris for the police or the tow crew unless it is a hazard you can reach safely.

Check everyone for injuries and call for help even if you feel fine. Tell the dispatcher which highway, which direction and the nearest exit or mile marker, so responders can find you on a long stretch of interstate.

Record the scene before anything moves. Film the way this driver did: the point of impact, the guardrail, every loose part, the tire marks on the road and the condition of the rest of the car. Those images help an adjuster judge the damage and where it started.

Ask for a report number. With a single car crash into a guardrail there may be no other driver to exchange details with, and the police report becomes the main record for your insurer.

Call your insurer from the scene or the same day, and ask how they handle high performance cars like the Hellcat for repair, total loss and parts. Keep every receipt for towing and storage.
