This is the horrifying moment a speedboat flips through the air in a dramatic crash.

The 'Freedom One' motorvessel overturned during the 2025 Desert Storm Shootout at Lake Havasu's Islander Resort in Arizona.

Footage shows the high-speed craft racing across the water on April 26 before suddenly lifting into the air under windy conditions and crashing into the lake.

An onlooker said: 'I was glad to see everyone came out safe, and kudos to the emergency team's quick response.'

Both passengers aboard the boat reportedly sustained minor injuries and received immediate medical attention at the scene.

The Desert Storm Shootout is one of the state's major boating events, attracting enthusiasts from across the country. However, the incident has reignited safety concerns.

In 2018, the Desert Storm Poker Run claimed two lives when a boat named 'Lickity Split' flipped over, killing two people, Brad Kloepfer and Paul Selberg.
