barreling
Moving very fast
Barreling means moving rapidly and forcefully, often with little control: The truck came barreling down the highway.
The image is of something rolling with the momentum of a barrel.
It can also mean putting something into barrels, as with wine or whiskey during aging, though the motion sense dominates in everyday speech.
