HUFFMAN, TX – A Corvette driver died in a collision involving two other vehicles on FM 1960 Road East Sunday evening, according to the Harris County Sheriff’s Office.

A person was driving a Chevrolet Corvette west on the 12800 block of FM 1960 Road East while weaving in and out of traffic to pass other cars around 7 p.m.

The Corvette driver hydroplaned as it was crossing, causing it to spin counterclockwise into oncoming traffic. The driver of a black Lexus IS 250 struck the back of the Corvette, which caused the Lexus to spin counterclockwise and hit the Corvette a second time.

Following the collision, the Corvette was sent crashing into a ditch before catching on fire.
