Corvette accident...
I saw the aftermath of an accident last night.
Looks like he rolled it and ended up crashing into the centre supports of a bridge. The car looked really bad, especially the winshield / T top area, totally crushed.We came up on the accident right when they were putting the guy in the ambulance....covered by a white sheet, certianly didn't look good.
I tried to get my family to take a pic as we passed, but there were too many emergency vehicles around, and I wasn't about to pull my camera out and try.
I guess what I'm trying to say is be careful out there, our cars are not very forgiving if you crash.

That's all I could find. Gotta watch those around you, lane changes can send you where you never thought you'd be. Drive safe!

A picture of a minor accident is OK. But this guy was under a white sheet. Never a good thing. Was it a C3?

I was only wanting to get a picture of the damage done to the car, to show how little protection we have. There was no intention of taking a pic of the guy being loaded into the ambulance.....give your head a shake!
