    The death of a Corvette Downtown

    Sorry about the picture quality I had to use screen shots.





















    The Story:

    Two men died in a fiery crash Thursday afternoon on the Downtown Connector after the sports car they were in launched off the side of a highway overpass and shattered into pieces on the roadway below.

    The victims’ identities were not immediately available, but they were killed upon impact, according to the Georgia State Patrol.


    • Atlanta and Fulton County news The pair, riding a yellow Corvette, were being chased at high speeds by Georgia State Patrol officers who tried to pull them over on westbound I-20 east of downtown Atlanta, Lt. Paul Cosper said.

    The chase began around 2 p.m. when a state trooper spotted the Corvette driving wildly and weaving through traffic in wet and rainy weather. It ended about 10 minutes later on the Connector (I-75/85).

    The Corvette cut across six lanes to take an HOV exit ramp to Piedmont Road. But the driver lost control on a curve of the ramp, hurtled over a retaining wall and crash-landed about 75 feet below on the side of the southbound Connector.

    The impact turned the car into a flaming pile of blackened metal, with shards of debris scattered in every direction.

    “If anybody had been [driving nearby], it would have been tragic,” Cosper said.
