All of the articles are fake. The website that published the stories is a self-confessed fake news website. Our partner site ThatsFake.com lists OurLandOfTheFree.com as a fake news website.

Additionally the photo of the crashed car that is supposed to show the scene was actually taken from a story from 2016 when a Range Rover crashed into a family home in the UK.

As such, none of these stories should be considered accurate.
