Well, not in the way you'd expect. Evidently this was an accident here locally. Hehe.

Didn't sombody post a pic of a green thunderbird a while back in that same situation?  Also does anyone see that the cable between the front wheel and the bottom of the bumper doesn't line up with the piece on the ground?

Not only that but where the "cable" bent it looks like someone was trying a bit hard to make it look correct. and yes but that wan an Mn12 and in an urban nieghborhood.

If you read the one post, a car came straight at him, or slammed on the brakes, and he swearved off of the road to save it, ended up hitting the wires sticking out infront of the pole.

I would have prolly hit the car over ditching the car off road. Specially if I was moving fast.

Judging by the emptiness of shoulders of the road, it looks like it was a solid attempt to avoid a collision. I would have done the same. It just so happened that there was a line there.

He still is one lucky person because if he had caught the line with the right or left side of the car instead of the center, it would have flipped him.

You get a line I'll get a pole child.

Well with that larger pic you can see the peices of the wire guard laying on the ground and what I thought was the wire before looks to be just a peice of the wire guard.
