Two teenage girls escaped death Sunday afternoon in their white C3 Corvette convertible after an 18-wheeler rolled over the classic sports car in Redmond, Oregon!

It definitely shows how tough the old Corvette was built.

Take a look at the photos, and you’ll have to wonder how the passenger was transported to St. Charles Redmond Hospital, where she was treated and then released.

The driver of the Corvette was carried to St. Charles Medical Center in Bend and was sedated with a nonlife-threatening injury.

The accident happened about 2:30 p.m. when a trucker from Northern California apparently didn’t notice traffic stopped at a red light and, despite slamming on his brakes and leaving skid marks on the pavement, literally ran over the passenger side of the Corvette before hitting the back of a Subaru Outback that then struck a Ford Ranger.

A passenger in the Subaru had to be carried to a local hospital.

Semi driver Santokh Samra, 31, of California was cited for careless driving, according to Officer Michael Maloney of the Redmond Police Department.

The injured girls were transported to the hospital by air helicopters that landed in the intersection of U.S. Highway 97 and Veterans Way after the accident that forced traffic to be detoured around the area for about four hours.
