Car Vs. Telephone Wire

Wow.

Car vs. Telephone


Firehouse.com - On June 13, 2004, at approximately 8:30 AM, Community Volunteer Fire Department's Engine 2 and Ambulance 2 were dispatched to the intersection of Alief-Clodine Road and Metro Boulevard in Southwest Harris County, Texas for the report of a car versus telephone pole.

Upon arrival, the engine company found a vehicle still running, hanging on the telephone wires by its right front tire.

Witnesses reported that the car had been traveling westbound on Alief-Clodine when the driver lost control of the vehicle, crossed the median, and made contact with the guide wire from the ground to the telephone pole, propelling the vehicle upward onto the wires.


The craziest part is that the guy tried to get away with it.

Witnesses also reported that the driver jumped down from the vehicle and ran to catch a bus prior to the arrival of Engine 2 and the Harris County Sheriff's Department.


I'm guessing they'll catch him.

Somehow, this looks like one of the photographs that Snopes.com will debunk.

I did follow the link.  This isn’t anything that someone with photoshop skills couldn’t do.  I’m just skeptical, that’s all.
