USA – Race Car enthusiast and world record holder Jessie Combs has died while attempting to beat her former world record.
Combs was known as the “fastest woman on four wheels” after setting the world record for 398 MPH in a jet-powered car in 2013. Sadly her attempt to beat that record resulted in a crash that has taken her life.
“I have never loved or been loved by anyone as much as this amazing woman @thejessicombs,” he wrote. “She was truly my unicorn and I enjoyed every single minute that I had with her. She was the most amazing spirit that I have ever or will ever know,” said Terry Madden a team member on instagram.
Combs was also a star on the show Mythbusters and Adam Savage posted quickly to instagram himself
Iām so so sad, Jessi Combs has been killed in a crash. She was a brilliant & too-notch builder, engineer, driver, fabricator, and science communicator, & strove everyday to encourage others by her prodigious example. She was also a colleague, and we are lesser for her absence.

People say Iām crazy. I say thank you š
