My step-dad's first wreck v.corvettecarnage

[Mr. Clean]

Yeah so on Friday (July 10th) @ about 6:30-ish, my step-dad crossed into an intersection with a red light and was t-boned in Snellville @ the 124/Oak Road intersection. You may have seen it on the news or heard it on the radio. Anyway... my step-dads been driving for about 35 years with no accidents, so he figured why not do it right if you're going to do it I guess.

He was unconscious after the impact and a police officer that was first on the site pulled him out while the car was on fire. He got out with nothing but about 6-7 stitches on his head and a bunch of bruises and minor scrapes. The other vehicle's driver got 50+ staples in her chest area with some internal injuries but is said to be doing well now.

He came into the intersection at about 38 mph. He just didn't see the red light and never hit the brakes or anything. She was going about 38mph as well (new chevrolets have a black box) and t-boned him in the door/hood area and then flipped over, he spun and hit the side of her vehicle and smashed up his bumper.

Anyway. On to what you came here for:

That poor, poor Corvette :(

[Frög]

Holy gakmar!

[csmiths]

god damn!!!! good thing he is ok

[Dylan]

omg man..im glad hes fine.sucks about the vette but cars can be replaced.

[GetFRESH!]

Damn... after seeing those pics it's a wonder no one got killed. Glad to hear everyone came out relatively unscathed.

Kinda scary though, thinking about how much I just space out while I drive lol, and how many times I've pushed my luck and gotten so damn close to blowing through lights and stop signs. Just goes to show that you can't be too careful when getting behind the wheel, even with a flawless record. It only takes a split second to change all that.


Also goes to show that maybe there really is something to having a fire extinguisher mounted on your A-pillar. :thinking:

[never_finished]

Wow, glad to hear everyone is ok. I work down the street and traffic was fubared.

Your step-dad sure is a role model for saying that. Now I feel bad for the girl that was involved, and not for your pops. I think inujuries should of been flipped flopped in this case.

Glad to see both parties survived. That's a lot of damage for 35mph crash (write-off).

i'm sure they'll just let insurance have it. he has no need to buy it back from them. go up to snellville PD and see if they'll let you start yankin' shit off lolol.
