Chevrolet Corvette driver escapes uninjured after being wedged under pick-up

A bizarre crash in the US resulted in a Chevrolet Corvette becoming trapped underneath a Silverado, with the pick-up coming within inches of the supercar driver’s head.

The driver of a Chevrolet Corvette has used up a year’s worth of luck after their supercar became wedged underneath a Silverado pick-up in the US, with everyone involved walking away unscathed.

In a post on social media platform X – formerly Twitter – the Thornton Fire Department uploaded images of the bizarre crash which occurred in Colorado earlier this week.

At an intersection approximately 25 minutes north of Denver, Colorado, a current-generation Chevrolet Corvette ‘C8’ and an older Silverado pick-up collided, with the latter driving up and onto the supercar’s windscreen.

Thornton Fire, North Metro Fire Rescue District and
Brighton Fire Rescue responded to an MVA involving two vehicles at 168th and Colorado Boulevard this evening. Thankfully there were no injuries and no one was transported.

Thankfully for the driver of the Corvette, its windscreen stayed largely intact and kept the Silverado’s heavy front-end from intruding on the supercar’s cabin in a significant way.

According to the Thornton Fire Department, everyone involved in the incident was able to escape without injury and without need for a visit to the hospital.

A number of X users commented jokes on the online post, suggesting new Chevrolets are born about nine months after an incident such as this.
