BTW ... there's another angle of the impact, and it's just as dramatic watching it from the back.

Comedian Clayton English is thanking Tyler Perry for putting a brighter spotlight on his racial profiling lawsuit ... and says his run-in with airport cops has him thinking some Black cops absolutely discriminate against Black citizens.

Sydney Sweeney's on a spending spree these days, and it's all centered around her move to sunny South Florida ... which is where she's cruising in a very unique brand new car!

The actress bought her new beach mobile, a Fiat 500 Jolly, from Hampton Jollys in Greenwich, Connecticut. The convertible ride's clearly built for fun-in-the-sun -- kind of a cross between a golf cart and a dune buggy -- but it's priced like a sports car.

We're told it set Syd back $68,500 ... not cheap, but she's got that kinda dough.

As documented in new harrowing footage that's making the rounds ... a 29-year-old woman in Hidalgo, Mexico recently approached a railway track to take a selfie as the CPKC's Final Spike Steam Tour train plowed ahead at full speed.
