The wreckage appears like the outcome of an explosion, with numerous pieces of the Corvette becoming scattered about the region. In the pictures uploaded on Facebook by Marion County Fire Rescue, we can determine a chunk of the engine, a massive piece of the cabin with the two red leather-wrapped seats, the black alloy wheels, and the vented bonnet of the Corvette resting on the grass.

The Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) believes that the white Chevrolet Corvette was involved in a street race with a silver Ford Mustang. Witnesses who referred to as 911 mentioned that the sportscar veered off the road, clipped a energy pole, and was smashed into pieces. According to troopers who spoke to the neighborhood newspaper Ocala Star Banner, the Mustang probably reduce off the Corvette, causing it to swerve and strike one more vehicle just before hitting a tree and the pole.

Firefighters had to close State Highway 200 due to energy lines hanging low. The police are now hunting for the driver of the Ford Mustang who is described as “a white male, standing between 5 feet 8 inches and 6 feet. He has a neatly kept beard and weighs 225 pounds to 250 pounds. He has two tattoos on his right forearm”.
