LOUISVILLE, Ky. —

Louisville Metro police and the mayor will put on a smashing show Wednesday at the city's impound lot.

At 11 a.m., they will crush a 2021 Dodge Durango Hellcat that was seized as part of Louisville's street racing ordinance, which has been in effect since 2022.

LMPD said the car was confiscated last year during the Street Rod Nationals. They say it is valued at $100,000.

Normally, the seized cars are auctioned or used by LMPD, but police said this one has too many stolen parts, posing liability and cost concerns.

Earlier this year, Mayor Craig Greenberg said in 2024, the city seized more cars than any year prior in the Louisville's history.
