Man Drives Corvette Into Delaware River
Police: Man Drives Corvette Into Delaware River Over Divorce Dispute
http://www.myfoxphilly.com/story/27346823/rescue
SkyFOX was live over the Delaware River near the Tacony-Palmyra Bridge for a report of a car in the water. Rescue crews were called around 4:15 p.m. on Monday.
Teams used a crane to lift a 1990 Corvette out of the water. Police say the car was driven into the river due to a bitter divorce dispute. According to police, the male driver drove the car into the water, then got out after before the vehicle submerged, and took off.
Police are currently searching for the driver. Police say the man's wife saw the report on FOX 29 and called police. Authorities have not released the identity of the man.

Bitter end for a Corvette and a marriage but just the beginning for several legal charges and fines. This will be one very expensive divorce.

Reminds me of Burt Reynolds in the Longest Yard; the remake doesn't count.....
Drove his girlfriends Ferrari in the lake and they found him in the bar thereafter with his clever line to the police- "it needed a wash"....

That man now faces charges of at the very minimum reckless endangerment and possible environmental fines.
About the same as a 25mph over the limit speeding ticket... but a non-moving violation

Not necessarily...It depends on the car..
Maybe her BF wanted the car so hubby dealt with it...

But gee, if that's the case then I guess our tax dollars should stop paying them.
That's part of the job. If they don't like doing it, they shouldn't have joined the force.

I dont think he should be charged with a crime. Fined yes. The poor guy is suffering enough. And his insurance company will not be paying him a dime either. Whats scary is I wonder if this Corvette will end up being on someones used car lot. As I understand things there are ways around carfax?

Most people don't trust car salesmen anymore. I think too many people have heard stories from others about how all car salesmen will tell you anything to sell a car and blindly believe it is completely true.
