"This is kind of nuts" - Fans call out General Hospital for skipping protocol as Ric's crash car gets scrapped without any investigation

In the recent episodes of General Hospital, Ric got injured in an accident when his car crashed. It was revealed that Kristina intended to hurt Ava in a car crash. As a result, she cut Ava's car brakes with a pair of cable cutters. In a shocking twist, Elizabeth and Ric got inside the wrong car and ended up suffering an unfortunate accident.

According to the storyline of General Hospital, Ava visited the mechanic and said that the crashed car belonged to her. She wanted to figure out whether a mechanical issue led to the accident and learned about the cut brake lines. While Ric remembered seeing Kristina at the crash site, Lucky confronted Kristina about what she had done.

In the April 7, 2025, episode, Kristina begged Lucky not to turn her in. Lucky agreed, realizing prison wouldn’t help her. She later visited a mechanic to check on the crashed car but learned it had already been scrapped.

Fans criticized the show on social media, questioning why Ric’s crash wasn’t properly investigated. On April 8, 2025, Facebook user Margaret Ellis posted in a fan group and asked why the police didn’t follow up on car crashes.

Margaret stated:

"Seriously???? Ric's car has already gone through the crusher? Don't the police follow up on car crashes?"

One fan, going by the name Janice Byrd Quigley, while responding to the post, said that they have no evidence against Kristina since the car had been crushed. Janice wrote:

"Now, that the car has been crushed, they have no evidence against Kristina.... There is no proof.... This is kind of nuts."
