GM test driver totals C7 Corvette while dodging paparazzi, rep says
Phoenix Arizona (CNN) -- A Chevrolet test driver totaled a C7 Corvette while being "ruthlessly pursued by paparazzi," a GM representative said.
The driver who has not been identified for privacy reasons was performing road testing of a new Corvette C7 in a Canyon in Arizona when two photographers jumped out in front of him.
"The paparazzi jumped out of a vehicle parked around a bend, with cameras, and aggressively approached his vehicle," GM's representative said in a statement. "In an effort to remove himself from the situation, he began to accelerate down the road, at which point his car was cut off by two additional vehicles and subsequently lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a rock wall."
Phoenix Arizona Highway Patrol said the driver crashed his blue Corvette into a rock wall Saturday afternoon.
"The driver of the Corvette stated that he was being chased by paparazzi, causing him to lose control of his vehicle," Phoenix Highway Patrol said in a statement.
The crash follows a spate of vehicular incidents involving celebrities and paparazzi.
Earlier this month Chris Brown totaled his Porsche in Los Angeles California while allegedly being chased by the paparazzi.
Councilman Jim Waring said the high-speed chase, which he estimated went for 2 miles, ended when the driver of the Corvette C7 crashed his car into a rock wall.
