Btw, did ya note it was a fatal collision?

Yes, and fair that I didn't mention that in my reply.

When you consider that kinetic energy goes up with the square of velocity, and some newbies are absolute and complete morons when driving a Corvette, taking it up to well over 100 MPH…
…well, there's only so much energy that can be dissipated without impacting the occupants.

By the way, the imbecile Las Vegas Raider wide receiver Henry Ruggs was drunkenly driving his Corvette at 156 MPH when he crashed into the rear of a Toyota RAV4. Ruggs and his passenger survived, the poor lady in the RAV4 didn't - and that may have been due to the fireball that erupted.

Modern cars are absolute miracles in how they protect us.

Except when they don't.
