Default 01 Vette head on collision

A local 67 year old guy I knew died a couple of weeks ago in his vette. They believe he or both he and the toyota P/U hydroplaned on some water and collided head on. The P/U jumped the car like a ramp & flew over the guard rail off the road. The P/U driver survived.

We had some thing kind of like this 4-5 years ago. Buddy showing off his new Z06 lost it going around a truck at an estimated 120mph(later lawers argued it down to 85) he lost control and went into a Bride main support backwards exploding the fuel tanks and burning to the ground. The passenger died but the driver made it. he is now sueing anyone he can none stop.

Great legal system eh?
