Investigators have determined the cause of the high-speed accident that killed race car driver and former “Mythbusters” host Jessi Combs.
According to Autoblog, the Harney County Sheriff’s Office found that Combs, attempting to break her own land-speed record, was traveling at speeds reaching 550 miles per hour when a “mechanical failure of the front wheel, most likely caused from striking an object on the desert,” led to the crash.
Known as “The fastest woman on four wheels,” Combs died in August while trying to break her own 398 mph land-speed record in a dry lake bed in an Oregon desert. The mechanical failure “led to the front wheel assembly collapsing,” according to the report.

The jet-powered car that crashed and killed TV personality Jessi Combs is being probed for data in its engine and system information computers, Oregon authorities said today.
The data could reveal what happened to cause the fiery crash in Oregon’s Alvord Desert earlier this week that resulted in Combs’s death.
The website TopSpeed.com said the Combs vehicle was “a car only in the loose sense,” saying it was more akin to a Mach 2-capable fighter-jet F-104 Starfighter. “It does have wheels and controls somewhat similar to what you can find in a car, but all the similarities end there,” said TopSpeed. “With 56 feet of length and 7 tons of weight, the North American Eagle features an S&s Turbines Ge J-79-11B engine with a 4-line afterburner. In car terms, it generates over 45,500 horsepower in full afterburner mode.”
