A 1969 Dodge Charger-based General Lee replica jumped through Somerset’s Fountain Square fountain during the 2025 Somernites Cruise. Coverage reported a 150-foot span and said everyone was safe, though the distance and apparent camera-operator near miss were not independently measured.

A General Lee replica based on a 1969 Dodge Charger jumped through the Fountain Square fountain in Somerset, Kentucky, during the Somernites Cruise on June 28, 2025. Event coverage reported a 150-foot jump, a hard landing, and damage to the car; post-event reports said everyone was safe. The distance is a reported figure, not an independently verified measurement, and video appears to show the car narrowly passing a camera operator without establishing an exact clearance.

What happened in Somerset?

The jump took place during the 25th annual Somernites Cruise. Stunt driver Raymond Kohn drove the General Lee replica through the Fountain Square fountain as part of the event. Preview coverage described safety planning and concrete barriers around the stunt area.

After clearing the fountain, the Charger landed hard. Post-event reporting said it lost a door and front suspension components before veering into safety barriers. Somernites Cruise Executive Director Keith Floyd said, “Praise the Lord, everybody’s safe,” according to MotorBiscuit. Post-event coverage reported that no one was injured.

How far did the General Lee jump?

Coverage reported the jump as 150 feet. The sources reviewed do not describe an independent measurement method, so 150 feet should be understood as the reported span rather than a verified technical measurement.

Did the car narrowly miss a cameraman?

The headline description reflects the apparent danger in the video, but reviewed reporting does not establish a measured distance between the car or debris and the camera operator. It is most accurate to describe the video as appearing to show a near miss, rather than claim a specific clearance.

Was anyone hurt?

Post-event coverage said everyone was safe and reported no injuries. This is a reported outcome, not an independently verified official incident finding in the sources reviewed.

What did the driver say about safety?

Before the event, Kohn emphasized preparation and the risks involved. The Commonwealth Journal preview, republished by Yahoo Sports, quoted him saying, “With this, you have to be safe,” and warning against becoming arrogant or overlooking the dangers before a jump.
