Anyone else morning ruined by the horrifying scene on 680?

Well, accidents are always horrifying, i was angry and very late for work. After getting around a wrecked car, i saw it, a brand new z06 rubber side up. This ruined my morning, a z06 ruined. I could have put it to such good use. Anyways I hope the driver was alright and everyone was ok but I really have no idea, it looked pretty bad. Just had to vent starting the day out seeing a wrecked dream car sucks.

yeah sucks to see wrecks like that but i bet he was trying to drive like mario thru traffic and someone closed the gap on him and then hits the brakes and turns thought he knew how to control a skid but ended up on his top.
bit of advise to him "dont drive like a *** in traffic"

damn thats horrible. Yeah the z06 didn't neccesarily look at fault as he was a few cars down. Traffic was pretty crazy looked like possibly he tried to avoid the first part of the accident but couldn't. Dont really know for sure tho

So its gotta be his fault just like that huh, just because he was in a sports car hes 'obviously' 100% at fault? I wouldnt suspect this kind of attitude from a group like ours that already gets hated on by the police and pubilc, oh well

it's not i'm trying to put any blame on him, i didn't even see the accident so i can't really say anything about the guys driving. but IF he was driving like a maniac, than obviously there was no way that it could have been avoided. sorry if you got the wrong impression man! i'm just a little tense since i'm the one who's teaching my cousin and he's constantly following too closely. i'm just afraid that one day something might happen to him.

I'm not sure, but given the amount of stopping power that car has, it would give me a reason to wonder. Another thing is that since that car sits so low to the ground, and has such a low center of gravity, I don't understand how it can be flipped over.

I'm not judging this one, because I didn't see the car, and can't speculate on the condition of the car. If somone rammed him, and he rolled over would be different than if he was driving too fast, and simply slid sideways and rolled the car.

It isn't 100% obvious that it's his fault, the OP simply gives us enough information to speculate on how this person wound up running out of talent in such a manner.

I didn't see the accident but I was heading north on 680 around 9:45am and saw the z06 still sitting there with it's wheels in the air. I didn't see any other cars around that looked to be involved though... was it just a single car accident?

The saw the z06 too. I was going NB on 680, and before that there was a car that hit the center divide right before Sycamore Valley. I swear 680 it one of the worst freeways I have ever commuted for accidents. Too many people driving too fast that aren't paying attention.
