That's nasty. How a pole can jump out infront of a Judge like that.

don't mess with a telephone pole, it'll win every time.  (except the times when "Spirit of America" hit one at 400+ mph and shattered it)

From what I read, the driver had minor injuries!

I witnessed a friend of mine nail a pole in his 71 Cutlass Supreme. It was about 1987 and I rolled up to a stop sign at the end of my street heading westbound in my 71 Skylark and we was going by me heading southbound. He did a fake smart ass swerve towards me and lost control and he nailed the pole dead center. I damn near sh*t myself! He didn't have his seatbelt on and his forehead hit the windshield header. Only had a minor cut. The tow truck just about had the car gone when a cop showed up....

I hope the guy is OK and that Judge was a clone, somebody had a similar accident around here last year with his 1971 Lemans, he put nitrous on a country road and hit a minivan, broke both his legs and sent everybody to the hospital, no driving for him in a long time, there is racetracks for speeding.

With my line of work i show up at those types of scenes. You understand the power of a few beers and fast cars. I have had to cut through a few muscle cars to get some guys out and it sucks seeing pristine cars destroyed.

Sad on both counts, but especially for the driver if true.
