hurtle
Move dangerously fast
Hurtle means to move with great speed and force, often recklessly or out of control: The car hurtled down the mountain road, Debris hurtled through the air.
The word suggests dangerous momentum—things that hurtle may crash.
To hurtle something is to throw or propel it violently, though this active use is less common than the intransitive.
