Default Corvette driver plummets off steep mountainside near Virgin River Gorge




On the interstate between St George Utah and Mesquite Nevada. Looks like she never rolled, and driver survived. That's a tough car!!

Owner should list it as a project car on Craigslist stating buyer has to provide recovery.

JungleCat is correct that driver was lucky to have survived.

That is pretty bad. Hopefully he makes it out of the hospital ok. Curious as to if he is a form member.

I read about that last week. The article said that the man is lucky that another person witnessed the accident or it may have been difficult to find the car and the man may not have made it. Shame to see another C4 gone. Hoping the guy buys another!

Reminds me of how I lost the 86, sliding backwards off the Cumberland plateau when a guy ran me off the road.
