Default Z06 / Driver Killed Head On Collision

I sold my '06 Z06 less than a month ago and I am sad to say that the driver and the car are both gone. The driver was killed by a woman going the wrong way on I-65 in Nashville when they collided head on.

This really really pisses me off.

Just makes you wonder how could you possibly avoid this situation and how should you react?

Did he not see the oncoming car until it was to late? It looks like it happened at a fork where the interstate would split or a possible exit ramp. Just trying to understand

Sad. RIP to a fellow Elvis fan:

Terrible news, the senseless loss of life like that.

This guy was innocent and driving about his business when hit by a drunk driver.

Now this man's family has had him taken away from them, and the drunk driver's family is going to lose her as she is going to jail for a long time and deservedly so for causing this senseless tragedy and bringing grief to not one, not two, but three families, as the passenger in the Z06 was badly hurt too.

It happens offten.

Happen to the guy across the street from where I was raised. But he was the drunk one.

Seen it at least a few more times in the local news Aswell.


When cops spend all their time harassing the guy leaving the bar After having two beers, it leaves a lot of time for the actual over the top drunk people to do damage like this.
