OT: amazing crash

[t_marat]

Amazing is that the driver got out alive! He is in grey, kind of kneeling down.

Lucky he was driving a LHD car. Is the guy running round the front looking to salvage a detached spot light or the King-Monster blow off valve he heard going whoosh seconds before the huge bang? Damn ugly car the wretched Imprezza. Give me a 325ix which I can turbo any day...

I 'wonder' if he was going too fast?

Cheers,

The car was going from left to right. Looking at how damaged (if that is an appropriate word) the car is, he must have been going pretty fast. And that part to the left of the second picture a piece of the bumper. Luckily there was no passenger. Otherwise that passenger would have been literally squashed.

The guy (driver) was in shock.

Wow... impressed that he could get out of that pos..

what's a light pole doing in a chicken lane anyway...esp without an idiot rail to protect it, with an egress street on either side?

If this were in the US, there'd be an ambulance chaser ready to sue the streets and bridges dept...hence the onlooker with the sport coat?

[dacoyote]

People that don't live in the US have a better grip on how to do stuff like not hit the light polls

[t_marat]

The rails are for the tramway, its kind of trolley or streetcab. That is not just a light pole, it is also used to hang the electric cables for the tramway.
