Big Chief, also known as Justin Shearer, had a car crash in 2017 but has since recovered and continues to be active in the street racing community and on the show “Street Outlaws.”
Justin Shearer, better known as Big Chief, is one of the most prominent figures on the Discovery Channel’s hit series “Street Outlaws,” which focuses on the world of illegal street racing. In November 2017, Big Chief was involved in a high-speed crash while filming for the show. His car, the Crowmod, collided with a fellow racer, Brian ‘Chucky’ Davis, resulting in a severe wreck that destroyed the vehicle.
Despite the severity of the crash, Big Chief was fortunate to escape with his life, suffering relatively minor injuries, including a bruised lung, a crushed L2 and L3 disc in his back, and a broken collarbone. His recovery process involved both physical and emotional healing, as the crash was a significant setback for him both personally and professionally.
After the accident, Big Chief took time to recuperate and focus on his health. He also took this opportunity to build a new race car, which he dubbed the Crow 2.0. This new car was designed to be a tribute to his original car, the Crow, but with significant safety and performance improvements.
Big Chief’s dedication to street racing and his role on “Street Outlaws” did not wane after the accident. He remains a central figure on the show, which continues to be popular among fans of the street racing scene. His resilience and determination to return to racing after such a traumatic event have been an inspiration to many of his fans and fellow racers. Big Chief’s presence in the street racing community is a testament to his passion for the sport and his commitment to the “Street Outlaws” series.
