In what will no doubt be the first of many, a Hertz Rent-A-Car Corvette ZHZ was involved in a one car accident last week in Dallas, Texas. The unidentified driver lost control of the sports car around 11 am and the Corvette came to a stop in the patio eating area in front of the popular La Madeleine restaurant.
The Hertz Corvette ZHZ is distinctive for its Velocity Yellow exterior with the black hood and roof stripe. Hertz added the car to their “Fun Collection” lineup several months ago.
From the photos it appears the Corvette suffered significant damage to the body. An employee of the restaurant said the Corvette slammed into the building but that he didn’t think anyone was badly injured.
We’re hoping that the driver elected for full insurance coverage on the Corvette before turning off “Active Handling”.

Thanks for stopping by and letting us know what happened that morning. Glad to hear you were okay. It’s also nice to hear that the accident wasn’t the result of a Corvette driver acting like a hooligan.
