Size and weight differentials in between various automobiles can be a recipe for disaster in the course of accidents. Thankfully, this crash involving a semi-truck and a C7 Chevrolet Corvette sports auto saw no severe injuries. That’s even a lot more shocking provided the photographs of the scene displaying the truck completely lifted into the air as it rests atop the blue coupe.

Details about specifically what led to the accident are sparse. It occurred on the morning of October 5th on the northbound side of I-49 in Desoto Parish, Louisiana just south of Shreveport. Images from the scene seem to show that the large rig drove more than the driver’s side A-pillar of the Corvette just before coming to rest completely on the hood and passenger compartment. The trailer itself overturned and spilled contents onto each the roadway and into the median.

A neighborhood motorist close to the scene when the accident occurred evidently stopped and stuck about to each document the predicament and to assist. They sent a comment and the photographs you see right here to the Desoto Parish Sheriff’s Department.

“I was one of the 1st people to pull up to the accident on I49 this morning. I just wanted to compliment the 1st sheriffs deputy on the scene. I’m not sure what his name is [Cpl. Jimmie Minor] but his command and control of the scene was not only impressive but when it came to cleaning up the scene he jumped in there with the work crew and helped out! I took several pictures of him and would like to send them to you as well. I just wanted to compliment and say thank you to the Sheriff’s Office as well as the State Police for a job well done,” they mentioned according to the department’s Facebook posting.

If the Corvette occupants did in truth escape with out injury it demonstrates just how protected contemporary automobiles are. Somehow this is not the only current instance of that involving a Corvette. Late in September, yet another truck drove more than a Corvette but the occupants emerged with out injury. Late in August, the driver of a Corvette at a race track escaped injury regardless of experiencing two impacts each with more than five Gs of force.
