hurtling
Moving at speed
Hurtling is moving at high speed, typically with a sense of recklessness or unstoppable momentum: a boulder hurtling down the mountainside, hurtling toward disaster.
The word implies something large or heavy in rapid motion, often on a collision course.
Unlike merely speeding, hurtling suggests force and consequence.
