Dashcam footage has captured the moment that the driver of a C4 Chevrolet Corvette slammed into the rear of a van in Texas before proceeding to flee the scene on foot.
The accident happened late last week on a section of the I-45 highway. Traffic can be seen moving slowly before the Corvette comes into view and slams into the rear of the van. It appears as though the driver of the Chevy unknowingly veered out of his lane and seems to have been completely unaware of the van, not even hitting the brakes before hitting it.
Due to the low-slung nature of the Corvette and the high rear-end of the van, the front of the Corvette momentarily slides under the rear of the van. The force of the impact ripped off most of the car’s clamshell hood and likely broke some suspension components on the driver’s side. Despite the hefty collision, the driver does not stop and continues to drive, eventually swerving to the outer right lane of the highway. The dashcam footage then cuts to the van pulled over to the side of the highway and in the distance, the driver of the Chevy can be seen fleeing on foot.

It’s difficult to say why the driver of the Corvette decided to leave the scene of the crash but one possible explanation is that the car may have been stolen and they’d rather ditch it than be caught driving it.
Fortunately for the driver of the van, the damage done to their vehicle appears to be relatively minor compared to the Chevy. Nevertheless, they may still be left with a hefty repair bill but the Corvette driver may have to deal with a bill from a lawyer too.
