Yet another C8 Corvette driver accused of speeding and driving recklessly has led to a five-vehicle crash, this time on Monday morning in Prospect Park, Pennsylvania.

Authorities say the black convertible Corvette was “speeding and driving erratically” westbound when it struck an oncoming vehicle, causing it to turn on its side and land in the middle of a sidewalk next to a business.

Both drivers had to be extricated from their vehicles, one of them via the Jaws of Life.

“It required quite a response,” Prospect Park Police Chief David Madonna said. “We called out all the resources for this.”

The crash also involved three other vehicles, with one of them apparently causing a gas leak at a building after crashing into it. PECO workers were able to get to the scene quickly and shut off the gas, authorities said.

The crash forced the closure of Chester Pike for an extended period this morning between Summit Avenue and Amosland Road while police investigated.

“It’s our hope that we do a thorough, proper investigation but also get the street open as quickly as we can,” the police chief said at the time.

Video from the scene shows the Corvette suffered major damage, especially to the front end and passenger side.

Initial reports said no one was injured in the crash, but officials now say at least one person is in serious condition.

  1. Why, really like this is news? People drive stupid in Jeeps Mustangs and even Hondas. Imagine that this would happen in a Prius ?

  2. Gets worse every day especially the middle aged soccer moms driving big SUVs like they own the road.

  3. Disengage brain, start engine.
    I agree there are many more “other” vehicles involved in crashes every day, but since this is a Corvette blog, this is what we’ll see. Along with the great articles come the ones with news like this.
