Just saw this on a friends facebook page. Happened in Geelong area in May2011.
She was spewing as they had no power all day because of it. Anyone from here? ;-)  |

I remember hearing about this, didn't effect me, I'm pretty sure it happened in the North Geelong/Norlane/Corio area.

I guess they'll start driving on the road now, instead of the foot path?

The pole just came flying out of a side street and didn't give way...
What gets me is how square on the hit looks. |

She lives in Corio, so well spotted guys.
I don't think it can be saved, check out the front of the roof line. She's pretty buckled. |

My guess is about 40kph at most at point of impact...I've seen how moden cars fold up (as they are designed to do of course) at relatively low speeds. Occupants should have been fine as long as they had belts on. |
