A silver C5 Chevrolet Corvette has sadly become the latest victim to the destructive power of Hurricane Matthew.

Apparently, the owner of this Corvette was driving the famed American muscle car just as the storm hit the coast of the United States.

Before long, the torrential rain brought by the hurricane created numerous flash floods, one of which brought this Corvette to a stop. While the owner escaped, the car wasn’t so lucky and was filmed drowning in the flood waters.

Although it’s sad to see a car like this get battered by Hurricane Matthew, it’s nothing compared to the human toll left behind by the storm.

Upwards of 900 people were killed on the small island of nation of Haiti when the hurricane made landfall late last week. What’s more, a further 19 people have been killed by the storm in the United States. Thousands have also lost their homes and belongings.
