Double Crash

Double Crashes are when both trucks involved in a race crash. Here are some notable examples of double crashes.

Anaheim 2017 (Show 2)
The second stop at Anaheim for the Fox Sports 1 West Series had 2 consecutive races where both trucks crashed.

The first race was between Grave Digger 32 and Time Flys. Grave Digger hit the edge of the final ramp awkwardly, and nosed into the landing ramp, rolling over breaking the forelink bar. Meanwhile, Time Flys clipped the cars in the turn, and spun on his side, until the truck managed to get back onto it's wheels.

The second race, which was the race directly after Grave Digger/Time Flys' race), was between Monster Energy, and El Toro Loco. On the final jump, Monster Energy landed sideways, and snapped the wheel off, plowing the truck into the ground. El Toro Loco, avoiding the crashed Monster Energy, swerved out of the way, and turned too hard, causing it to roll over as well.

Bigfoot and Carolina Crusher
During a race (possibly in Montreal at the Olympic Stadium as judged by the looks of the stands), Bigfoot and Carolina Crusher crashed in during the same race in nearly the same way at nearly the exact same time. Because of the strange timing and resemblance of the two crashes, this remains one of the strangest crashes in monster truck history.

Monster Mutt: Junkyard Dog and Overkill Evolution​
During qualifying of the 2016 Monster Jam Fox Sports 1 Championship Series in St. Louis Monster Mutt: Junkyard Dog and Overkill Evolution both crashed at nearly the same time. As they entered the second turn both trucks hicked up, both drivers originally recovered, but then both trucks twisted the other direction, went off the dirt on to the concrete where they eventually came to rest on their sides. This accident was similar to the simultaneous Bigfoot and Carolina Crusher crash. Both trucks were forced into the donut contest that night, which Monster Mutt: Junkyard Dog proceeded to win. This was the first time two trucks crashed together since a 1980's race between Bigfoot and Carolina Crusher, the only instance where both trucks in a qualifying pair rolled at the same time and the first of two, two truck crashes in 2016, the other involving Red Solo Truck and Snake Bite.

Red Solo Truck/ Snake Bite
In Wildwood, NJ, in 2016, Red Solo Truck and Snake Bite were racing, and on the final jump, Red Solo Truck collided into Snake Bite in mid-air. Both trucks crashed into the ground, and ended up tumbling and flipping across the sand. Snake Bite driver Vinny Venom escaped from his truck uninjured just seconds after the violent wreck and went to check on Brandon Budd, who was also uninjured. It is considered to be one of the worst modern crashes.

Strangely, Red Solo Truck, which actually won the race, was able to return for the finals during that same show. The Snakebite chassis, however, experienced a significantly less convenient outcome and suffered severe damage and had to be sent to Concussion Motorsports to be rebuilt.It is also interesting to note that this is the only two-truck crash so far where the actions of the trucks influenced each-other's crashes, since Red Solo collided with Snake Bite, which caused both of them to crash. In the other two examples, Overkill Evolution and Monster Mutt Junkyard Dog as well as Carolina Crusher and Snakebite, the crashes were not directly caused by each-other and just happened to occur at the same time.
