Drive safe, guys.

Considering how fast the Vette stops there's a good chance this never should have happened. Speed kills; this guy lucked out.

Speed is kind of like sex, in that we'd probably be better off without it...

But then, what would be the point....

Drive safe, guys.

That really makes me mad to see these truckers back over people.

I saw a bumper sticker on the back of a bubba truck years ago that could have come in handy here. "If you can't stop, smile as you go under"

Did you notice that there was no explanation of the accident or why it happened, driver or truck at fault but soley placed blame on the trailer guard not being adequate enough to protect the driver of the car. Here's a thought, don't run into trailers! It's not as if you can't see them, they don't sneak up on you. :doh:

Guard rails keep you from going off the side of the road too unless you decide to hit them at 80-90+? If the truck was doing 60, how fast does a 'vette have to be going to hit that hard while both are moving :bump2:

If the truck had been moving they wouldn't still be wedged together...

 

[C4Steve]

Happened on the interstate. The car very well could have got hooked up on the guard and undercarriage of the trailer, and if you look at the back of the vette there's a chain which most likely the tow is using to unwedge it. . . Unless he plowed into the truck if it was parked or broken down on the highway. Like one of the other guys said, the story didn't give details.

 

[mat helm]

I still say it had to be stopped or close to it...

Anyways, found several more pics on the LAFD flicker page....

Not arguing the point, just saying "if" he was flying. Still lucky he has a head.

It's one of a kind. It's the only Z06 soft top in existence. Should definitely get more than $10.
