![[ACCIDENT] 2003 Corvette Driver Cited for DUI in Oregon Crash](https://www.corvetteblogger.com/images/content/2023-2/080723_1b.jpg)
One look at this yellow 2003 Corvette, or what’s left of it, and you’d think it would be impossible to survive the crash that destroyed it.
But believe it or not, 25-year-old Kyle Damian Micovich suffered only minor injuries and was taken to Grande Ronde Hospital for observation and treatment.
Now, the La Grande, Oregon man is facing additional charges as the investigation by the La Grande Police Department continues, in addition to already being cited in lieu of custody for driving under the influence of intoxicants.
The one-vehicle crash happened about 1 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 5 near Birnie Park in La Grande.
The Corvette wound up upside down, with the front end basically demolished and what appears to be part of the drivetrain lying in the background of a photo from the scene.
Police say the Corvette was headed east on C Avenue when it jumped the curb on the north side of the road in front of the Forestry and Range Sciences building before hitting two large trees and coming to rest upside down, ejecting Micovich from the car in the process.
Helping the police department at the scene were the La Grande Fire Department and Union County Sheriff’s Office.

I’LL DRINK TO THAT….IDIOT.
It’s going to make for interesting conversation at the next meeting of the car club he helped to start:

Man has to know his limitations.
I swear those tires look like slicks by the profile and I don’t see any tread. That’s the motor in the background, you can tell by the red engine cover. I had to go to the newspaper website and blow up their photo of it. Reckon my yellow 2003 Z06 just got rarer. Glad he’s OK…idiot.
