Default Nice Show Today

Howdy,

Went to a nice Vette show in Sterling Va today. My car ran good, took the tops off and cruised. It was hot 98* by mid afternoon, and my forehead got fried. About 100 cars total. 67 L88 won best in show. There were also two 63 Z06 fuelies in the show room next to a 06 Z06. Pretty impressive.

Here are some pic's me and my poor quality camera took. Good tune up for the Sloan-Kettering memorial cruise next weekend.

1 dead and 1 injured in Va. 7 crash

By Angela Jones
The Winchester Star



CLARKE COUNTY — One person died and another is in intensive care after a single vehicle accident in Clarke County late Saturday afternoon.

A passenger in a 2003 Chevrolet Corvette was killed Saturday afternoon on Va. 7 near Pine Grove Road. The female’s identity has not been released, pending notification of next of kin. The male driver was airlifted to Winchester Medical Center, where he was a patient in the intensive care unit on Sunday.

According to Sgt. Les Tyler of the Virginia State Police, the 2003 Chevrolet Corvette was westbound on Va. 7 one-half mile west of Pine Grove Road (Route 679) at 3:40 p.m. when the accident occurred.

The vehicle went off the left side of the road into the median hitting an embankment and overturning several times.

There were two occupants in the vehicle at the time of the crash.

The male driver was flown to Winchester Medical Center, where, Tyler said, he is in intensive care.

The female passenger died at the scene.

The crash remains under investigation by Trooper T.H. Seagle.

As of early Sunday afternoon, Tyler said Seagle was still trying to notify family members.

Until next of kin is notified, the sergeant said names will not be released.
