A four-vehicle crash involving a red C7 Corvette Stingray at a busy intersection in Carlsbad, Calif., on Friday afternoon left several people injured, including one with possible life-threatening injuries.

Police say the crash apparently happened when a 1999 Honda Civic with a 37-year-old behind the wheel slammed into three other vehicles, including two trucks and the Corvette.

Police say the Honda was headed westbound on Cannon Road. A Dodge Ram and the Corvette were going north on El Camino Real when they were hit by the Honda as it entered the intersection. The impact then sent the Honda crashing into a Chevrolet Silverado pickup that was stopped in the southbound El Camino Real turn lane waiting to go east on Cannon.

The impact was so strong that it ripped off the rear tire on the passenger side of the Corvette, with the tire ending up underneath the Silverado. In fact, the entire right side of the Stingray suffered extensive damage, and the rear hatch is missing, apparently cut off by emergency workers in the aftermath of the crash.


With lanes blocked by the damaged vehicles and emergency vehicles answering the call, traffic quickly backed up after the wreck, which happened just after 4:30 p.m.

One driver was carried by helicopter to Scripps La Jolla, and an ambulance carried another driver to Palomar Hospital for treatment of their injuries. CBS Channel 8 news reported that one of the injuries is possibly life threatening.
