[ACCIDENT] Philadelphia C6 Corvette Driver Dies Following Street Racing Crash

1. What’s more bizarre–A 59 year old street racing, or the fact that anyone died in what appears to be a pretty benign wreck?

2. 12 45 at night, he was probably returning from bible study.

3. @ Matt – if you zoom in on the picture, how the driver’s seat is positioned, and the roofline, it doesn’t look so benign. At least not to me. Also, the video shows the concrete wall that was pummeled by the Corvette. Concrete > fiberglass all day long.

4. Sounds like a whole lot of speculation, seems weird though. I have seen many other Vettes wrecked way worse and they walked away. Maybe he had a heart attack or a seizure. Just blaming racing is BS. These cars are very tough so what gives?? It’s a wide road too and these cars are built for speed. Something smells here. And what does age have to do with anything here?? I am 66 and get a little excited here and there, especially if it’s a 5.0 or an SRT:)

5. A 59 year old should be way more than old enough to know better than to street race. It’s a known fact that there’s never a good outcome when a speeding composite bodied Corvette hits a hard stationary object.

6. Physics?
   Newton’s three laws of motion.
   1. Law of inertia; object in motion will stay in motion.
   2. Forces equal mass times acceleration.
   3. The car exerts this force in the direction of the concrete wall, but the wall, which is static, and unmovable exerts equal force back on the Corvette.

   I cannot imagine the pain and heartache the spouse as well as the family are feeling.
   My deepest condolence!

   Many thanks,
   Ray
