A Florida man was driving a C7 Chevrolet Corvette at 135 mph when he hit a Toyota Camry. The impact was enough to shear the Camry in half, ejecting its passenger. If that wasn’t enough, the “Super Speeder” has a history of bad driving and had a blood alcohol concentration well over the legal limit.

A Corvette driver broke Florida’s new ‘Super Speeder’ law, but not before he smashed another car in half

A Florida man is facing 10 charges following a deadly Boynton Beach crash. 40-year-old Dale Drotar was driving a 2019 Chevrolet Corvette at 135 mph when a 2020 Toyota Camry attempted to make a turn. The Corvette driver failed to avoid the Camry, striking it on the passenger side. 

The impact was enough to drive the 3,298-lb C7 Chevrolet Corvette straight through the sedan, breaking it in half. The Toyota driver, 25-year-old Natalie Pierre, was ejected from the vehicle by the hit.

Tragically, authorities pronounced Pierre dead at the scene. Drotar, on the other hand, pulled himself through a window and out of the wounded Corvette as it caught fire. Emergency medical personnel transported Drotar to a local hospital and tested him for alcohol.

According to his tests, Drotar had a blood alcohol concentration of 0.126%. That’s 0.046% more than the Florida legal limit of 0.08%. An investigator at the scene confirmed that Drotar had an empty bottle of Jack Daniel’s in the Corvette at the time of the wreck.

Among Drotar’s crimes, he violated Florida’s new “Super Speeder” law. The law stiffens the punishment for excessive speeding, targeting drivers who exceed the posted speed limit by 50 mph. It also includes charges for drivers who exceed 100 mph on public roads.

At 135 mph, Drotar broke both criteria of the new Super Speeder law. But the excessive speeding charges are far from Drotar’s greatest concern. He’s looking at 10 charges, including vehicular manslaughter.
