A C5 Corvette has been destroyed in California after crashing during an alleged street race.
The California Highway Patrol’s Salona Area took to Facebook to post images taken in the aftermath. They show that the Corvette was utterly destroyed and by the crash and the subsequent fire, with parts seen strewn across the road.
Authorities state that a 34-year-old male was driving the 1998 Corvette on State Route 37 westbound at over 120 mph (193 km/h) just prior to the crash. Eye-witnesses assert that he was racing another vehicle, thought to be a purple Dodge Charger. It is believed that as the Corvette approached State Route 29, its driver lost control and crashed into a concrete barrier on the side of the road.
