A Ford city truck in midtown Atlanta crashed into a fifth-generation Chevrolet Corvette and ended up being on top of the sports coupe. However, the driver of the Corvette survived luckily, but his car was not so lucky. It is not clear how the accident took place, but the image suggests the truck simply rammed into the red Corvette.
The Chevrolet Corvette is pretty low sitting car compared to the large and high riding truck obviously. This could be a reason, as the driver of the Ford truck could have missed the sports coupe until it was too late. No matter what, the scary image simply reveals how the beautiful Corvette was literally steamrolled by the large and heavy truck.

Chevrolet incorporated more curvaceous designed to this car and it was based on a more rigid chassis that improved handling. The aerodynamic efficiency of the fifth generation model was much more improved compared to its predecessor.

The engine was initially capable to churn out 345 bhp of peak power and 470 Nm of peak torque, but later the power output was increased to 350 bhp of peak power.
