When we first saw the above photo of the black Chevrolet C6 Corvette Z06 stuck under a box truck on a Los Angeles highway in the news, we were certain that the person(s) inside the car had met his or her maker.

Before we continue, we should warn you that some of you might find the following images from the accident disturbing.

Astonishingly, and despite our chilling thoughts, the Corvette Z06 driver, who was alone in the car, suffered only minor injuries, according to an ABC News report on the incident that occurred on Monday night (March 4, 2013).

However, as you can see for yourself in the gallery, fire crews had to be called in to raise the semi-truck and free the man from the wreck.
