Another C8 Rummy Driver

Rummy driver depicted in the video below. In what appears to be a failed attempt at a power slide or drifting the mid-engined rear-wheel-drive sports car, the owner lost control and ended up crashing into the greenery.

The video was originally posted on Instagram by a user who witnessed it live from his car. Tyler stated that when the police arrived, the driver “blew a .3″ blood alcohol content and was issued a DUI.

The white Corvette Convertible can be seen accelerating hard, with the tires squealing as it approaches the end of the tarmac. The driver turns the wheel but the vehicle slightly under-steers and the rest is, well, just painful to watch.
The mid-engine model hits the gravel bump with its front end, making a loud noise.

The force of the crash most likely resulted in breaking the front bumper and damaging the underside of the car.

The guy who shot the video has also posted a picture of the aftermath, showing the Corvette being towed out of the ditch.
Thankfully, there were no serious injuries involved, but we are sure that the driver of the C8 was pretty shaken up by this experience.

We don’t know the extent of the damage sustained by the C8, but this kind of incidents usually doesn’t come cheap.
Besides replacing the front bumper, the Corvette could have issues with the front suspension, front wheels, and airbag (if deployed), increasing the bill.
In any case, the driver will think twice before doing stunts behind the wheel of expensive vehicles.

1. Buy high power car.
2. Switch off electronic assistance
3. Mash the throttle
4. Proceed to scene of the accident

A bit of brake instead of throttle might have tucked the front end into the attempted turn.
Equally, if the speed was already too high the car might simply have gone off the road backwards instead of forwards.

The way the rear end of the car launched in the air after hitting the kerb - and then the front end appears to drop down to perhaps a hidden dip and land on its nose makes me wonder if far more structural damage occurred to the car.
