Now the unlikely moment is racking up millions of views years after it first happened
A bizarre car crash from nearly a decade ago is suddenly having a second life online, and TikTok can’t stop watching.
A video showing a six-car pileup involving only Ford Fiestas has resurfaced on the platform, racking up millions of views as people marvel at how oddly specific it is. The accident happened eight years ago in Kent, Mich., but in 2026, it’s become one of those internet moments that feels almost too unlikely to be real.
The clip was shared by TikTok user Luis Rondi, who was one of the drivers involved. In the post, which has earned more than 4 million likes, he joked, “I think there are genuinely higher chances of winning the lottery than finding myself in a six-car Fiesta centipede.”
As the video spread, many viewers had the same question: was it staged?
“A lot of people have asked if we’d planned it or if we were on our way to a car meet or something, but it was a mere coincidence!” Rondi tells PEOPLE. He explained that he was simply driving to work when traffic suddenly went wrong.
“I was on my way to work at the time and another driver cut into our lane ahead of me, which caused us all to slam into each other,” he says. “It just so happened that everyone in my lane was driving a Fiesta.”
Rondi adds that the strange uniformity wasn’t intentional — just extremely unlucky timing. “I guess they sold pretty well in Kent that year,” he jokes.
The video shows the cars lined up one after another, all the same compact model, creating a scene that TikTok viewers quickly dubbed everything from a “Fiesta convention” to a “very specific nightmare.” Commenters flooded in with disbelief, memes and theories, stunned by the odds of six matching vehicles ending up in the same crash.
Rondi says he didn’t even plan to post it widely at first.
“I was actually clearing out my camera roll and found the video 8 years to the day since it happened,” he tells PEOPLE. “So I uploaded it to my Instagram story without much thought.”
But the response surprised him almost immediately. “I was pretty surprised by how many people responded to it,” he notes. “And I wondered if people would see the funny (or unbelievable) side of it on TikTok too.”
What he didn’t expect was the scale. “Obviously, I never expected over 20 million people to see it!” Rondi shares.
Now living abroad, he explains that the viral moment has followed him further than he could have imagined. “My mum called me to tell me that even people back at home have been asking her about it,” he says.
For Rondi, the attention has been surreal, but also oddly heartwarming. “The fact that such a random video from 8 years ago brought a brief moment of joy and laughter to so many people around the world, at a time when we desperately all need it, is more than I could have asked for,” he notes.

Part of the fascination may also come from the fact that the Ford Fiesta is no longer in production, giving the clip an unexpected nostalgic edge. Ford produced the subcompact car from 1976 until 2023, and the model officially ended as the company shifted toward electric vehicles.
Still, for TikTok, the business context is beside the point. The appeal is simple: it’s a crash so oddly specific that it feels scripted — yet it wasn’t.
And after all this attention, Rondi hasn’t ruled out sticking with the car that made him internet-famous. “I’m yet to get another car,” he says, “but I’m not ruling out another Fiesta!"
