two people "not authorized to drive" a General Lee tribute were traveling too fast and lost control, smashed the front up, and wound up in the hospital

A Charger tribute to the Dukes of Hazzard TV show has crashed while speeding - as two people not authorized to drive it were hospitalized. The driver was treated for a broken collarbone at Cox Branson, and the passenger was taken to Cox South for "reported leg and rib pain," 

The single-vehicle smash up happened on Sunday along Highway 165 near Branson in southern Missouri around 1:30pm. Hollister Police Chief Preston Schmidt said 'the driver of the vehicle was traveling too fast for the road conditions and lost control of the vehicle he was operating.'



An initial post by the Western Taney County Fire Protection District, identified the car as one used in the 1980s TV show "The Dukes of Hazzard." However, the car's owner later informed the fire protection district that it was not used in the show, though all "Dukes of Hazzard" cast members had driven and signed it.
