What happens if you crash into a power pole?

Answer 1

This just happened in front of my Mother's apartment bldg. A pickup truck was speeding and hit the power pole that holds two big Transformers on it. The pole bent to the ground and the transformers made such a loud explosion like a plane crashing. The truck rolled over it and ran into the next pole across the street. That pole stayed up but the truck kept going. Drunk driver or cellphone addict. Now with whiplash for sure. Power company closed off street and worked all night to put in a new pole and then broke a water line and had to suck up the water. Very dangerous because of the hot-lines on ground. The street was like new come morning work traffic. Amazing! The explosion was very hard on the elderly at the apartments. Moral of this story... stay in car and keep driving to avoid down power lines. Call police and power company asap so children and animals don't get zapped and fried. And take responsibility, let the authority know you did it. Grow up. That's all.
