That is one weird wreck. The fact that he took off hard while in the middle of traffic is weird, the fact that the car took a hard left is weird and the fact that the car exploded on impact is weird. I've seen a bunch of wrecks over the years but I've never seen an explosion like that. I've seen hard wrecks at the race track but the cars just bounce and scrape. Indy cars will explode on impact but I've never seen a street car do it. Almost looks like that car had been taken apart and put back together with aluminum rivets or something. Like a stunt car for a movie. Wonder what in the heck the driver of the Vette was thinking about when he pulled that stunt?
Granted this was a long time ago, but my grandfather witnessed a wreck where a Corvette launched off of a road down a hill. It landed on all fours and the body exploded on impact. He described it as a fiberglass jigsaw puzzle.
