Was wondering that myself. The doors are jammed shut and the windshield is still intact. Other side maybe?

Whoa! Not good, I’m happy a fellow Vette driver survived that he’s very lucky.

Good that the Vette driver got out of that wreck OK. Hope he got a decent settlement from the truck driver's insurance company.

Weird article linked here -- I mean, really, how often does a news outlet go into so much detail about the entire generational detail about the victim vehicle?
