Ruh-roh

Two people were injured in a crash involving one of the most famous vehicles ever, according to Missouri officials.

The Western Taney County Fire Protection District posted to Facebook Sunday that, upon responding to a highway incident that afternoon, they discovered that the car involved was the "iconic and historic" Dodge Charger from the classic TV series The Dukes of Hazzard.

The post included several photos of the easily recognizable bright orange 1969 model, which was named "General Lee" on the show, showing damage sustained to the front end.

Officials stated this was a single-vehicle incident, but gave no other details of the crash. The car's two occupants were transported to the hospital, according to the post. Their current conditions were not provided.

The fire department noted that there were 309 of the General Lee models built for the TV show, plus another 26 made in 2005 for a remake movie, which starred Sean William ScottJohnny Knoxville, and Jessica Simpson.
