I got a call telling me to grab the camera and head out.
I saw what the call was about once I hit the first intersection near my house. There were lots of flashing yellow lights and this was the scene :shock:

There were 2 women in the car and one of them just happened to work for the local paper.
The pics will be forwarded tomorrow ;)

Wow, that would be scary!!! I saw a bad wreck on the way home. They had to detour us but one thing I saw was a car that looked like it tried to drive up a phone pole. It wasn't pretty either.

Wow, that's crazy. I would've had to change my underwear after that one.

There was a wreck over here once where a car ran off the road, flipped about 10 times, and bounced 30 feet up in the air and hit a telephone pole, like the top. 1 dude died immediately and the other lost a leg and barely lived.

BLACK94SSEi 11-08-2006 07:22 PM

Wow location IS everything. Had that pole been a little lower and towards the drivers or passengers side....Ummm I dont think you would have been able to post pics :shock:

Dude in the truck is in trouble! In most states, any thing that protrudes more than 24" from the back of a commercial vecle is an oversize load, and can't be moved at night. Even if that's not the case in your state, he didn't have it marked adequately. He should have had a red light on that.

It was a truck from one of the local electrical companies.

The first thing I thought was he should have had either a red or yellow light on it.

In the first pic, a horizontal telephone pole comes in from the left and is crushing the top right roof of the car. Its in the 2nd pic too, it blends into the pic well and isn't obvious until you look at it right! LOL Don't feel bad, it took me a few to 'see' it too.
