Default Corvette fatality

Read in the San Bernardino Sun this morning about a fatality involving a corvette. They did not say what year the car was but it was southbound I-15 in the Barstow area when it went off the road.

3 occupants were in the vette and one passenger was ejected and was killed, the driver was critical and the other passenger sustained injuries also.

Anybody else have any details? As i recall this is the second vette crash this year where there were more than 2 in the car. The first one was in the LA area somewhere and killed 3 or 4 in the vette?

Not a Corvette, check bottom line.

From Coroners report

Coroner case #701006983 -- On 10-24-10, at about 5:06 AM, CHP responded to a single vehicle accident southbound Interstate 15 at Harvard Road in the rural area of Barstow, CA. The investigation revealed that for an unknown reason a Chevrolet Corvette with a driver and two passengers left the interstate and collided with the open desert. 21 year-old Bloomington resident Catherine Roseski was pronounced dead on-scene at 5:15 AM. The driver was airlifted to Loma Linda University Medical Center in critical condition. The other passenger sustained minor injuries. An autopsy will be performed to determine the exact cause of death. The California Highway Patrol is investigating the accident. [102410 1130 TC]Correction: the Chevrolet vehicle is a Cobalt.

More crazy is that a Cobalt was confused for a Corvette ... Either way; very sad...
