Car vs. telephone pole
 

not really what you think - but close
very unusual

LOL thats great.....just think if he didn't get hooked up....that car would be totaled!

How in the hell do you manage to do something like that?

Haha so the guy just left? It said he "jumped from the car and ran to catch a bus."

i didn't think phone lines were that strong!

Why that guy didn't turn off his car before jumping is anyones guess. After a miracle like that, he leaves it running and blows his motor. Go figure.

that is wild

how fast was the car travelling to get the car up that high?

It was probably stolen, Boo. He didn't care about the motor, he just wanted to get away before the cops got there.

I can't even imagine the look on the adjuster's face when the owner of this car called in the claim. The estikate must've been truly interesting.

ha ha that's great

I wonder if that covered insurance:D

I've been staring at those pictures for five minutes now. Thanks for sharing that link. Reminds me of this: http://www.ladder54.com/Photosplane.htm. Not so unusual for a plane to hit wires...this guy was just really lucky...depending on how you look at it.

I would have liked to see that in action. That must have been some kind of ride from the drivers seat.

either that or he shit his pants the whole time!

Do you think alcohol may have been involved?

thats crazy.......

That's unreal...says a lot for the strength of the phone cables.

Similar thing happened to a relative of mine. Instead of hanging, the car tore in half between the front and passenger doors, turned almost inside-out, and threw him a hundred feet down the road.

inconceivable!

who'da thunk!

my dad took down a pole with his 75 cutlass and drove away back when he was in high school. do that in a new car and see what happens.

I know what you mean, I hit a pole this past winter and well my van still drives fine...if I had a new car I would need a whole new front end and Air Bags.

Mine I need a Bumper and right fender $200(CDN)

After looking at those pictures, all I can say is "WOW".

Hahahahaha.

Yeah, the strength of those wires are amazing...

I just recently saw an accident where a truck hit 2 poles - instead of knocking them down, they just broke off about 10-12 feet up, with the entire top of both poles just suspended there, supported only by the wires...
