About 2 mins ago they just showed a live shot of a flipped Red w/White Stripes Viper (assuming a GTS - couldn't tell from the bottom :D) that also sheared off a fire hydrant creating what they called his "own personal geyser". Missed the location of the helicopter shot...

This is a big oops:omg: :omg: :omg:

Definately Gen II based upon the exhaust. Question is whether it was a FE?

It is hard to imagine how you can flip one of these cars over. :drive:

Hope everyone is ok!

It was a hard hit right behind the front driver's side wheel. Must have slid into it. :shocked: Could have been a bad hit for a driver. My brother did something similar with his mustang and ended up breaking his femur in five places. :eek:

Chicago area Viper GTS crash in rush hour tonight!

Well, it looks to me like a red with white stripes GTS. Ouch, this guy hit a hydrant and flipped over....its on Comcast.net news tonight. Complete with fire hydrant show. Hope they were alright. The doors didn't look to be open and there was no rescuers there. Not too good, although maybe it just happenned when the heli got the footage. Be careful folks!

I hope and pray that the driver is OK!

Does anybody know if he is one of us, a VCA member?

I guess this is not the best way to get a "free car wash".

Wild morning today. I own a red Viper with silver stripes. I began getting calls and emails early morning because this happened just down the block from me. Everyone thought it was me for sure. I haven't confirmed that it is any of our club members, doesn't seem to be. We'll keep you posted.
