Corvette accident....fatality
FATAL HEAD ON COLLISION
A horrible crash killed three people Friday, including a one month old. The Florida Highway Patrol says the driver of a Corvette was trying to pass slower traffic in Wimauma. It was on a two-lane highway. The Corvette hit an SUV head-on and the cars burst into flames. The corvette driver and a passenger were killed. A one month old in the SUV died. Five of his family members are in serious condition, including an 18-month old and a four year old.
this is all I could find so far

This is the kind of accident that gives vettes a bad name. Hope the family comes through OK.

It was on the News this morning, It was a 1988 Vette and the driver was named Marco (did not get the last name).
Very sad
