Default Actor Avoids Near Catastrophe in Corvette



'General Hospital' star Bryan Craig was driving his Corvette when a lady in a Jeep ran a red light and t-boned the C6, causing the car to hit a fire hydrant.

Would someone please tell me how the ACTOR avoided a near-catastrophe???? He didn't do anything to "avoid" anything. His vehicle is not a "super-expensive" car, either. I don't know how many of you pay any attention at all to TMZ, but if you do, you are wasting your time. Seems like every article that comes out of that gutter is a stinker...

My 05' coupe is super-expensive if you ask some people I work with who are deep in debt. All relative. I wonder what the salary of a TMZ staffer is.

IDK, but a jeep t-boning a fiberglass, low to the ground car can be deadly. especially since she blew the light and was not just coasting down.

Supposedly, hitting the fire hydrant kept his car from hitting a house.

Would you really be able to call yourself a professional writer if you used terms like "super-expensive"? Well, okay...maybe if you write for 10-year-olds.

And, since the hydrant is still in it's place, the car certainly did not have enough force to hit a house if it could not knock over a hydrant.

As for the Jeep "t-boning" the Corvette while running a red light, the damage to the Vette looks waaaay too light for the accident description. So, again, take the dufus writer out of the equation, and it might be an entirely different story.

(For those who will say, "You can't see the driver's side...it could be destroyed!". Not if the driver is in fine condition with no injuries, and the windshield is not shattered, and the top of the vehicle is not "teepeed". I am thinking actual impact speed may have been 30mph, or less.)

It's some kind of celebrity "news" site, though that is almost an oxymoron. Most of the real news sites will occasionally feature a report by them, but their "news" is generally the kind of junk this story reflects.
