Impaired Woman Crashes Red C4 Corvette Into Family’s Backyard

A red C4 Corvette went flying into a backyard in British Columbia this week, causing quite a stir in a typically quiet Canadian suburb.

According to local publication Langley Advanced Times, the 51-year old female driver of the Corvette tried to pass a vehicle on the right hand side of the road in a bike line. The Corvette then narrowly missed a light pole before it went off the road, hit a brick and metal barrier and went flying into the backyard of a nearby home.

Austin Fadear was watching television in the home with his father when the red C4 Corvette crashed onto their property.

“It was the loudest noise my dad and I ever heard,” Fadear told Langley Advance Times. “At first, I thought it was the subwoofer. We have surround sound.”

They quickly realized the sound din’t come from the TV, though. When they went into the backyard to investigate, they were greeted by the site of the trashed red coupe. Debris from the metal and brick barrier that separated the yard from the road was also scattered about.

The Fadear family was thankful for the barrier, as the car may have otherwise hit the rear of one of the houses situated along the road.

“If that wall hadn’t been there, it would have been terrible,” Fadear added. “We’re both shaken up.”

Surprisingly, the driver was not hurt in the accident. It sounds as though she was drunk or under the influence, with local Royal Canadian Mounted Police issuing her an immediate roadside prohibition for impaired driving and impounding the (now wrecked) C4 Corvette for 30 days.

  1. Just look at that lazy meathead bungle that retrieval. Never use contact clover towing, apparently!

    1. You get whoever the police and/or insurance company call. Priority is clearing the scene, not salvaging scrap. Probably be written off as the repair cost will exceed the actual cost.

  2. Textbook retrieval. If you have no or minimal experience, you should not comment.
    I tow business over 50 years. This is a fine operator.

      1. We have a Prime Minister, but the brain (and a sad one at that) left when the hand puppet master, quit on him.

      2. No, not at all. The Prime Minister has no functioning brain. Look up Trudeau dance in India, Trudeau speech about “moving away from plastic water cardboard box sorta things” etc.

  7. A comment like that could turn this guys day upside down. Cause what u said if you dont have any facts or photos anything saying that man was as you quote “methhead” then shut your mouth. Why couldn’t u say I dont think the man’s doing the job the adequate way. Nope u gotta all the nonsense in there. If u dont have nothing good to say then dont say nothing. And about pulling car out there’s more than one way to do the job. If man tells u that’s not the right way to do that walk away from that man cause he doesn’t know one thing about what hes saying. Better yet run away from that man. Now it’s time do ls swap in the vette.

  8. A. I’m glad nobody was hurt.
    B. It’s a 4th Gen, worth about $2,000. No big loss.
    C. Put the drunk/meth head in prison for a while, so she can fully process her potentially deadly decision.
