Flying highway sign impales Chevrolet Corvette in Florida
A man identified as Malcom was entering I-95 in Hallandale Beach, Florida on New Year's Eve when a highway sign went flying into the air and slammed into the rear window of his Chevrolet Corvette. Police said another car ahead of him ran into the sign and sent it into the air, causing at least five other crashes as cars tried to avoid it.

The man, who identified himself as Malcom, was entering I-95 in Hallandale Beach when the merge sign slammed into his car.
“I didn’t even see it. It just happened really fast,” Malcom told WSVN.
"I was coming onto the interstate, the sign went airborne. I guess it was already airborne. I didn't even know."

None of the drivers or passengers was seriously injured in the incident, and the damage to Malcom’s Corvette was mostly restricted to the rear window, which covers an empty cargo compartment. The needed repairs could’ve been much worse if he’d been driving the upcoming 2020 Corvette, which features a mid-engine design that places the V8 motor right where the pole hit.
