Yea, you can all assume that a 17 year old in a vette caused the crash, but let's not act like adults are good drivers. We've seen the stupidity on both ends so who knows
“Okay, from now on, instead of making a left turn at the intersection, go one block past it, and then make three progressive right-hand turns.” "Th-Th-The, Th-Th-The, Th-Th… That's all, folks!"
Those older cars dont even have airbags or protection. ESPECIALLY a corvette. They were thr ones to make a car body out of carbon fiber. Definitely not a car they initially wanted to aid weight with. Super unsafe. RIP
You can be the most responsible driver but there will always be be a stupid driver out in the road the best you can do is not be on your phone, have seat belts, air bags no DUI its sad seeing stories like this
As a teen driving instructor in this area… I just want to say, please don't assume that the young man was at fault. Many, if not most, of the teen drivers who take training are quite cautious and diligent about their driving, they know the dangers. They may lack experience, but they have recently had professional training and training by their parents and everything is fresh in their head. While often, experienced adults don't think the rules don't apply to them anymore. This young man had a Corvette because he was into these cars. Doesn't mean he was at fault. A mother of young children driving a Range Rover is just as likely to be a distracted driver or run a red light while running late in the morning. I'm on the road a lot, and I'm constantly watching other drivers…trust me, experienced adults are very guilty as far as distracted driving and disobeying rules like signaling and stopping at lights and stop signs. Distracted driving is the number one danger, has surpassed drunk driving. Lastly, I'd like to know how they don't know what happened, as the driver of the Range Rover has survived and certainly she can give an accounting and she should own up to a mistake, if she made one. RIP young man, so sorry. Condolences to his family and friends.
Doesn't matter what type of car it is, the fact he is 17 and no adults present in the car while he is driving is the problem. Stop giving kids cars, let them walk before they can run
So young
Sad. God’s will be done.

Oh no.. A 16 year old in a Corvette are never at fault. NEVERRRRR ..
always check before crossing signal lights …never trust anyone
As a previous Corvette owner, a 16/17 year-old has no business driving a car so powerful as that. What a sad thing to have happen.
This is exactly why SUV are safer. They are higher and give you better crash protection overall.
Range rover vs corvette is not good
Rip guy 😢
Condolences to family for loss love ones 🙏 pls slow down
Sad, my 16 year just her license and I don’t know what I’d do if anything happened to her.
Major factors are a major factor in car accidents

Why do people think it’s ok to turn on a red light 🚥 and not wait but cut off in coming traffic
RIP to him 🙏🏻
That doesn’t look like a Corvette especially with not having matching rims!

So what happened? Who took the red light and why?
Sending my love and prayers to the family of this young life my deepest condolences may he rest in peace 🙏🕊️
😢 my condolences to the families for their sad loss this is traumatic and devastating 😢

The question is what the hell is a 11th grader doing with a 1984 Corvette???!! That’s the real question
Fast cars and kids do not go well together
Looks like the range rover hit the car.
Lame kids
Cars are dangerous machines but people forget that they feel a car is like a safe place were nothing can happen….
This is why you ALWAYS have a dashcam in every vehicle you own…
Sorry to the family who lost their son, hope ya'll find some peace in this when the time comes…
