Devastating On-Set Crash Kills Street Outlaws: Fastest In America Star

Tragedy has struck the "Street Outlaws: Fastest in America" family as cast member Ryan Fellows died in a car crash during filming on August 7, 2022. TMZ broke the news Monday, confirming the accident happened outside Las Vegas, where the Discovery show was filming. Fellows was racing against an unnamed driver when he lost control near the finish line and crashed.
