On August 7, Ryan Fellows was involved in a car accident. He was driving a gold Nissan 240 when it overturned and caught fire. Fellows was filming Street Outlaws: Fastest in America when the tragedy struck. Everyone on the spot ran to save him but failed to save him. After his death, a GoFundMe campaign was launched with the following message:
“Ryan was an avid car enthusiast and road ‘fighter’ in many ways, with interests in basketball, cars and a job in sales/advertising.” He was recognized for his perseverance and unwavering will to overcome obstacles in his path.”
According to the website, the fellows loved his family more than his accomplishments. It went on to say that family members now need support to move on with their lives following this tragic loss.

Donors also expressed their grief, saying they adore him and think he’s one of the most down-to-earth people they’ve ever met.
Currently, very little information is known about the scholarship recipients. Despite his appearances in Street Outlaws: Fastest in America, he only became popular on the Internet after his death.

The race also highlighted the dangers of his trade.
Two other runners from the program, Jonathan ‘JJ Da Boss’ and his wife Tricia Day, were nearly killed in an accident before his death. Tragedy struck in January 2022, and their injuries were not made public until they were walking again in March. It was later found out that Tricia had to have hip surgery, and Jonathan got burns on his hands and face.
