Sometimes, a car crash is just a car crash. Other times, it’s a Russian Mustang driver going full demolition derby in a snow-covered parking lot—smashing 11 parked cars—only to be stopped by a blizzard of snowballs. Has “Florida man” finally been outdone by “Russia man?” Perhaps.

A video originally posted to Russian Telegram and later shared by Anton Heraszczenko, a former Ukrainian parliament member, captured the carnage. “A video appeared on Russian Telegram channels showing a vehicle crushing 11 cars while cruising near a residential building in Kaliningrad, Russia,” Heraszczenko reported. “The driver is reportedly a soldier of the Russian ‘special military operation.’ The Russian rented a Mustang vehicle and drove it around drunk. Other people tried to stop him with snowballs.”

The footage begins with a black S550-generation Mustang sliding down a snowy hill and slamming into a Mercedes-Benz G-Class. Classic Mustang moment—rear wheels spinning, no traction. But then, the driver picks up speed, swings wide around a curve, and sideswipes another car. Maybe just bad luck? Maybe just bad tires? Nope. That’s when things go completely off the rails.

The Mustang revs up and plows head-on into another parked vehicle. Reverses. Smashes into a second car. Then a third. The driver keeps going, ramming car after car like he’s trying to rack up points in some bizarre Russian arcade game. The Mustang fishtails, struggles for traction, and lurches forward into yet another victim. Residents watch in stunned disbelief—until one of them decides he’s had enough.

Russian locals fight back against Mustang mayhem

Enter: the guy in the blue sweater. With no police in sight, he does the only logical thing—he starts pelting the Mustang with snowballs. His first shot misses, but he’s determined. He packs more snow, launches another, and soon, others join in. Within seconds, the Mustang is under siege.

The driver, now realizing the neighborhood has declared war, bails out through the passenger-side door. But his problems aren’t over. The blue sweater guy keeps up the barrage, while another man in a red jacket starts swinging at him. More residents pile in. Someone trips him as he tries to escape. It’s full-on street justice, Russian winter edition.

Eventually, the Mustang driver stumbles away, leaving behind a parking lot full of wrecked vehicles and very angry insurance adjusters.

While it’s unclear what happened to him next, one thing’s certain—Kaliningrad has officially proven that snowballs are an effective anti-Mustang deterrent. See the original video, embedded below:
