Justin Shearer, better known as Big Chief, is one of the most recognizable faces of the Discovery Channel’s hit series “Street Outlaws,” which showcases the world of illegal street racing. In 2015, Chief was involved in a serious car accident while racing. His beloved car, “The Crow,” was totaled when he collided with a fellow racer, Brian “Chucky” Davis. The crash was severe, and Chief suffered a number of injuries, including a broken collarbone, pulmonary contusions, and bruising to his lungs.

His experience has not slowed him down; instead, it has reinforced his status as a key member of the street racing community.
