It’s unclear what could have caused the accident but what we do know is that this Corvette took a turn off the road and into a creek. Rolling down the hill, prices of fiberglass chipped away and bent, especially when the front end hit the ground.

As police and rescue operators arrived on scene, the team quickly made their judgements pertaining to the driver’s condition.
