Frunk looks intact. Hopefully the golf clubs are okay too.

According to witnesses, the Corvette C8 took the wheel off an SUV heading in the opposite direction around a turn. This particular C8 was part of the Corvette Caravan heading up to Yosemite.....

Was the vette at fault or did the SUV get into their lane?
