At least three people have been killed and dozens injured after a devastating pileup on Interstate 81 in Pennsylvania earlier this week. The pileup started at approximately 10:30 a.m. on Monday in the midst of snowy conditions.

At one stage, an individual standing next to his car was almost struck by another vehicle. The carnage continued well after the recording of this video ended and emergency services suggest that more than 50 vehicles were involved.

A camouflaged police car is not something we often see on the roads, but this is the case with the pictured BMW 3-Series Touring facelift. The model was spied testing on public roads under bright sunlight, wearing police gear with camouflage wrap on both ends. The upcoming facelifted 3-Series has already been spied in sedan and Touring  bodystyle, with an Alpina bodykit and with optional M Performance Parts . However, the Bavarian firm is also a long-time supplier for the German police, thus the police car version of the 3er must also undergo testing.

A gorgeous 1988 Porsche 959 Komfort has just hit the market but with an asking price of 995,000 Swiss Franc ($1.068 million), it’s certainly not cheap. Porsche famously built the 959 to compete in the Group B rally series but due to the cancellation of the series, the car didn’t compete. However, Porsche didn’t simply abandon the 959 project and ultimately offered it in a street-legal guise. This particular 959 that is available through RM Sotheby’s is one of just 292 examples of the Komfort-spec model and is finished in Porsche’s iconic shade of Guards Red. The wheels were originally painted white but have since been resprayed in silver. The car spent most of its formative years in Germany and in 2008, underwent important mechanical recommissioning work.

The Ford Maverick has already proven to be a huge success for the company and while it is the entry-level hybrid variant that has attracted the most attention, the more powerful EcoBoost is also popular. Typically, the 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder available with the Maverick pumps out 250 hp and 277 lb-ft (376 Nm). Those are good figures for a truck of this size but weren’t quite enough for Maverick owner Michael Kildoo who recently took to the 2022+ Ford Maverick Upgrades, Hacks, and Information page on Facebook to show how he had managed to increase power while also improving fuel efficiency. Driven: The 2022 Ford Maverick Is Proof Big Things Come In Small Packages Kildoo has fitted his Maverick EcoBoost with a resonator delete, dual exhausts, a four-inch performance intake, and a Pedal Commander tune. While he does not know exactly how much power the truck is now pumping out, he recently used a GPS timing device to record a 0-60 mph (96 km/h) sprint of just 5.5 seconds a...
