[ACCIDENT] C8 Corvette Driver Crashes into Two Police Cars, Alcohol May be to Blame

Some of our readers will likely remember country singer Lefty Frizzell, whose last No. 1 hit was a song called “Saginaw, Michigan” back in 1964.

If you’re of a certain age, like this writer, that song will likely be the first thing to pop into your mind when you hear about a Midland, Michigan Corvette driver who’s now in the Saginaw County Jail after allegedly running into two police cars in his 2023 Arctic White Corvette Stingray, nicely equipped with the optioned 20-spoke black wheels and body-color high wing spoiler.

The incident happened around midnight Wednesday at the corner of Weiss Street and Hemmeter Road in Saginaw Township.

According to police, the Corvette first struck a Saginaw Township police car that was moving through a flashing yellow light.

After leaving the scene of that accident, the Corvette driver was located by police shortly afterwards on State Street. When a second police car tried to box in the C8, the driver attempted to leave again and struck that car, too.

A photo from WJRT Channel 12 News shows the Corvette covered with snow, apparently in a parking lot where it was being kept by authorities. While the front of the car is cropped off in the photo, scuffed paint is clearly seen below the snow on the corner of the front passenger fender, as well as scuffs to the right of the radiator grille.

Based on that minor damage, the two crashes appear to have been at low speeds, with no injuries reported in either.

Police say alcohol may have played a role in the crashes, and the Corvette driver has been arrested and charged with several driving-related offenses.
