Huskys don't attack people or cars.


Here are the statistics:

Husky Attack and Bite Statistics from 1982-2013:

Bodily Harm: 79 attacks
Child Victims: 49 attacks
Adults Victims: 5 attacks
Deaths: 25 deaths caused by a Husky
Maimings: 24

eg see:

Here is a report of one such attack on a 13 year old girl in January '16

This is despite the husky coming 7th in the list of the top ten LEAST
aggressive dogs

Perhaps surprisingly the most aggressive are 1. Dachshunds
2. Chihuahua

See:

There is something seriously screwed up with that list given that
its got cocker spaniels in there with the most dangerous dogs.

And its silly to claim that something as small as a dachshund can
do you much harm, or even a kid much harm.

And that other stuff doesn't appear to be organised by the number
of attacks per capita of each breed which is the only stat that matters,
presumably because it isnt at all easy to work out the number of dogs
of each breed there are out there.
