![[ACCIDENT] Elderly C6 Corvette Driver Faces Multiple Citations After Causing a Two Car Crash in Oregon](https://www.corvetteblogger.com/images/content/2024/022224_10b.jpg)
The 94-year-old driver of a black C6 Corvette coupe faces multiple citations after a two-vehicle collision Wednesday afternoon that caused a pickup to overturn in Roseburg, Oregon.
Local police say Weyland Phillips was traveling west on Northeast Oakland Avenue in a Corvette when he allegedly quickly tried to cross Northeast Stephens Street without coming to a complete halt at the stop sign. In the process, the Corvette struck a pickup driven by a 51-year-old headed south on Northeast Stephens.
A photo from the scene shows the Corvette lost its front clip and driver’s door (likely due to the eventual extrication of the driver by emergency crews), coming to rest on the sidewalk next to a sign for Apex Ace Home Center. In another photo, the truck was shown upside down on the edge of the Apex property facing west, with its camper cover knocked loose and lying upright nearby on Stephens Street.
Both vehicles had to be towed from the scene.
Both drivers were transported to CHI Mercy Medical Center for treatment of minor injuries and have now been released.
The 94-year-old Corvette driver was cited for having no operator license, driving uninsured, and careless driving.

No license, no insurance, careless driving: Tear his license up. Should never have gotten behind the wheel. Did he know what he was doing? Was dementia a factor?
Dang! Hope I’m still driving a Corvette at 94. LOL. There is a point when you gotta admit it’s time to give it up. Glad no one was seriously hurt.
He should probably give up the stick and get an automatic now.
MY MAN!
