While most people are still waiting for their Scion FR-S it appears from these pictures someone has already managed to crash one. It's official—the wait for the inevitable first FR-S crash is over.


After the hype and speculation surrounding the Toyota GT-86 concept from it's introduction, we're finally finding out what we've really wanted to know about the Scion FR-S as they slowly trickle into dealer showrooms.

While neither occupants of the car were injured in the low speed impact, the fate of this FR-S is currently unknown. Call us crazy, but something tells us this won't be the last "drift-related" FR-S crash we hear about.
