A driver behind the wheel of a Corvette veered off the 60 Freeway on Wednesday morning and crashed into a car dealership in City of Industry — and it was all caught on video.
Footage from the rear camera of a vehicle obtained by TV station KTLA shows a speeding Corvette cutting between cars moving left toward the center lanes and then suddenly swinging hard to the right, veering across multiple lanes of freeway traffic.
The vehicle continues off the freeway, where it hits a guardrail and launches into the air, the video shows.
The Corvette then rolled in the air several times before crashing into the side of a Maserati dealership.
The crash occurred about 1:45 a.m. near the Gale Avenue exit, KTLA reported.
The driver and a passenger weren’t seriously injured, the station reported.
A California Highway Patrol spokesperson couldn’t immediately be reached for comment.

![Olive ridley sea turtle hatchlings have been released to the wild after eggs were successfully hatched at the non-profit Aquarium of the Pacific. In an unprecedented event, two olive ridley sea turtle nests were discovered in mid-September in Seal Beach and Huntington Beach, California. The discovery represents the first-ever confirmed instance of natural sea turtle nesting on the U.S. West Coast. The eggs were then relocated to the Aquarium for protection due to a tropical storm. The Aquarium was selected to care for the sea turtle eggs due to its expertise and resources for animal care. Photo Information: This imagery was captured at a safe distance using red or infrared lighting, or no lighting during, a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service coordinated activity where sea turtles were not harmed. Sea turtles are protected and should not be disturbed or harassed.
