According to the news reports, the driver had 6 speeding tickets and 4 license suspensions since 2004.



Yah, that mess is what's left of a rented Corvette. What's worse is that the crash happened late Sunday night, and the passenger (who somehow survived because she was belted in) wasn't able to call for help until Monday morning...

I'm somewhat confused as to why onstar didn't call for help.

What a mess. Not the best car to get in a wreck with.

I think the car has to not be reduced to splinters for OnStar to still work...

Poor tree.

Actually, it's designed to work in pretty severe crashes. However, after further examination I've noted that the windshield frame is absent, and that's where the antenna is. It's right along the roofline at the top of the glass, or at least it was in my 2006 model.

Yep, no windshield, no antenna... OnStar head unit somewhere in the weeds 50 yards from the battery... It's lucky she regained consciousness and could find her phone, or it might have been a long time before they found the crash, and two fatalities instead of just one.

Hello , welcome to onstar , your car is fucked !!! How may I assist you today ?

 

[cmccarthy]

I believe that's a Hertz ZHZ Corvette, by the way. Do a google image search on "Hertz ZHZ" and you'll see that it's a long way from being the only one to wind up in a smoking hole in the ground.

Darwin should have stepped in on this one and saved the Tax payer the trouble.

Yah, no kidding there. Those cars are getting plain thrashed on a daily basis. I wonder what the "market value" will be when Hertz tries to sell them off...

"While the exact cause of the crash will take time to determine"..........

Why's that?...
Not a lot of possibilities!... :smt102

Yep! Hwy 20 used to ride that on my motorcycle. A fun road not to take likely.

Come on... you know the cops won't pin a cause on it for weeks, until they get the toxicology reports and the passenger recovers enough to talk about what happened. Who knows? Maybe the guy who kept getting his license suspended was actually driving the speed limit and swerved to avoid a deer or something!
