The rockers were the first thing I noticed. Based on the condition of the front spoiler it might be a low mile car.

What a shame!!
I read that the driver will thankfully survive.
Everyone please acknowledge their limitations. Have seen way too many that pushed just a bit too far and the result was catostrophic.

HEY guys, newbie here. saw this post and just wanted to join and clear the air...the owner of the yellow 94 ZR1 in the accident is a real close friend of mine(78 years young). i can assure you he was NOT driving past his limitations. he was out for a gentle sunday morning corvette exercise as he does every sunday. the last thing he remembers is a car passing him and looked down at his speedo and was it was reading 42 mph. the front left tire was flat suggesting a possible blow-out. hopefully, his memory will come back so we can find out what really happened. he only suffered minor injuries, broken left tibia, bruises, stitches etc, and is expected to be back to normal in another month or so. BTW, this was an NCRS top flight car, too! the insurance company through the corvette museum was steller in the whole process. they totaled it, obviously, and paid more than the stated value because of his driving record. how cool is that? kuddo's to the corvette museum insurance!!!

Report suggests he took out power lines.....looks like he rolled into power pole on Passenger Side. Sounds like the guy was alert and conscious and being extracted and no passenger.......

I think the impact was actually on the drivers side.
Very fortunate outcome appears to be positive for the driver.
