A high-speed crash involving a red Chevrolet Corvette occurred Wednesday night on southbound Highway 101 in Cloverdale.
The vehicle veered off the road, striking a sign and two trees before coming to rest in the right lane. The driver, the sole occupant, sustained minor injuries and was transported to a local hospital. First responders described the Corvette as “disintegrated” with debris scattered across the roadway. The right lane of the highway was closed for approximately an hour for cleanup.
The California Highway Patrol determined that excessive speed was the cause of the crash, although the driver’s exact speed remains under investigation. Alcohol and drugs were not factors.
