What can go wrong during the filming process? Street Outlaws has seen tragedy before, but this goes above and beyond. It definitely has warning signs on its name. Recently, Ryan Fellows, the star of Outlaws, was killed during the shooting process, which shocked everyone.
We can’t imagine the anguish his family is experiencing. Street Outlaws: Fastest In America’s Ryan was reportedly involved in a fiery crash while filming the Discovery show. If you remember, JJ Da Boss and his wife, Tricia, were involved in a car accident while filming for “Street Outlaws” earlier this year, and Tricia was hospitalized.
Ryan, on the other hand, will be remembered and missed by his loved ones. Discovery also stated something about his passing. Here’s what we know so far about the incident.
Ryan Fellows Killed In Fiery Crash During Filming
Ryan Fellows was in a race with another driver early Sunday morning outside Las Vegas in an already scheduled contest for the evening of the show, according to TMZ. And then he lost all control near the finish line.
The car, a gold Nissan 240z, overturned and caught a deadly fire. Onlookers attempted but failed to pull Ryan Fellows out of the burning vehicle. Following the tragic crash that killed Ryan, the shooting was called off.
A spokesperson from Discovery stated, “The Street Outlaws family is heartbroken by the accident that led to the tragic death of Ryan Fellows. We extend our deepest sympathy to Ryan’s loved ones as they process this sudden and devastating loss.”
Here’s another tweet by the team of Outlaws being heartbroken about the tragic accident.

Fans Are Supporting Ryan’s Family
Brad Sparks set up a GoFundMe page for Ryan’s family to cover the funeral expenses and to assist his family in the aftermath of his tragic death.
It reads, “Ryan was an avid car enthusiast and was a road ‘warrior’ in many ways that extended to loves of basketball, cars, and business in sales/advertising. He was admired for his tenacity and relentless drive to overcome the challenges before him.
The only thing he loved more than these efforts were his family – his wife Liz, Children Josiah (18), and Olivia (10). The family will need help with the next steps of grief and living life after losing the heart and soul of their beautiful family.”
