Default Corvette accident in Atlanta

I saw this on the news this morning. Driver killed, passenger injured. On the newscast one person said they saw him come around a corner, and it lost control, then hit the pole.

OMG, for a second there I thought it was good friends of ours (member here too) with a white C5 until I saw the wheels closer. They have polished CCW's.

Prayers for the victims and family.

Being that it was 3:30am it is likely that alcohol was involved.

On the contrary that's when I do most of my driving in my car. I like it when their is barely anyone on the roads. But I sleep during the day and work nights so it's my daytime.

That sucks. Prayers are with the passanger and everybody else involved. I'm actually working in Atlanta right now so it's kinda crazy to see the thread pop up. I'm not all that far from there either

Tis sad that sometimes being young and foolish cost so dearly!! At that age most fail to realize that a poor decision can cost their life or that of others!!Best wishes to all the loved ones involved!! Just sad!!
