      The mid-engined sports car narrowly avoided crashing into a barrier.

      There has been significant damage to the wheels and likely to the car's underside.

      Earlier this year, a C8 Corvette nearly split in two after a crash in the US.

      No one enjoys seeing beautiful cars damaged, and recently, a C8 Chevy Corvette was destroyed in Israel after veering off a motorway and colliding with several large rocks. The unfortunate aspect of the incident is that it could have easily been avoided if the driver had exercised more caution.

      Dashcam footage captured the accident and the moments leading up to it. The white Corvette is seen speeding past the camera in the fast lane of a multi-lane highway during a rainstorm. It's unclear if the ‘Vette was exceeding the speed limit, or if the camera owner was driving very slowly, but it soon became evident that things were about to go wrong for the Chevy.

      While it briefly goes out of sight, it reappears spinning and sliding across the road. It narrowly avoids crashing into an impact attenuator at the highway's edge, slid up a small grassy embankment, and eventually came to rest on several large rocks.

      Unsurprisingly, this unplanned off-road excursion has resulted in extensive damage. Both front wheels appear misaligned, and the passenger-side wing mirror has been torn off. The rear bumper has also sustained significant damage and will need replacing for the Corvette to return to the road. The driver’s side skirt has also taken a strong impact.

      While it's challenging to assess the full extent of the damage, it’s likely that the underside of the Chevy also took a significant hit, and several parts may need replacement. Had the car collided with the crash attenuator, the damage could have been even more severe.

      Last month, a C8 Corvette in the US was nearly split in half after sliding sideways into a pole. Had this Corvette struck the barrier side-on, it might have met a similar fate.
