[ACCIDENT] Video Captures Wild C8 Corvette Crash in New York City

You never really know what’s coming next on the streets of New York City. A newly released video from Upper Manhattan shows a pedestrian waiting calmly at an intersection—seconds before a speeding C8 Corvette blasts through, slams into a Mercedes Benz SUV, spins out, and sends the pedestrian flying into the air.

At least three people were injured in the violent multi car crash early Thursday, captured from multiple angles by surveillance cameras along West 204th Street and Sherman Avenue in Inwood.

Police say the crash unfolded around 6:30 a.m., when a man driving a Sea Wolf Gray C8 Corvette at a high rate of speed collided with a Mercedes Benz in the intersection. The impact sent both vehicles into separate destructive paths as the Corvette struck a 34-year-old pedestrian on the sidewalk, then slammed into a building.

The Mercedes Benz ricocheted into a parked car and a moped. That driver ran from the scene, according to the NYPD.
