Dash cams give investigators a helping hand when determining the cause of an automotive incident. Thanks to this user, we’re able to see that the driver of the Chevrolet Cobalt is clearly at fault for the wreckage that you are about to see.
The clip starts with the camera car directly behind a new Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo, which is to the right of a C7 Corvette Stingray convertible. Both lanes are making a left-hand turn through the intersection. As the Corvette and Jeep cross the apex of the turn, the Cobalt comes in flying, barely missing a pick-up truck that’s making a left-hand turn on the opposite side of the intersection. After the near-miss, the Cobalt smashes right into the Laredo, hitting it with so much force that the Jeep half-spins counter-clockwise into the Corvette, sending the Corvette into a half-spin of its own.
As the dash-cam driver pulls over, we see the white Cobalt sedan a little down the road, pulled up on the curb. To be honest, we’re not sure if it the reckless driver stuck around to own up to what they had done. To make matters worse, both the Jeep and the Corvette wore temporary tags – showing both were recently purchased.
We hope that everyone was able to walk away from this unscathed, unlike the banged up new cars. At least this camera footage should make it easier to process the insurance claims.

Texting and driving??? Dude, that light had been red for at least 20 seconds before the Cobalt blew it.
That’s no Grand Cherokee Laredo, thats the SRT8!! Look at the exhaust tips in the bumper. And it has temp tags on it too so the owner just bought it. Wow that sucks.
With all the mindless fools with their texting and driving, I never just relay on the red light thinking the person will stop. I always look both ways before pulling out even after I have the green light. The poor guy in the Vette would not of seen the Colbolt driver since it would of been blocked by the Jeep.
I’m gonna guess that happened in either Texas (North Texas) or Florida. I’m leaning towards Texas based on the water tower design.
Garland… Near Dallas.
