Fence post impales car!

It was a very icy (black ice) morning when I got a call to go out to a friend’s house where reportedly someone had crashed through her wooden fence and sailed across her lawn before coming to a stop.

As you can see from the images, the fence was not forgiving to the car that crashed through it – at least that’s what we originally thought. The vehicle ended up being a total loss with the alternator, radiator, radiator support and fender taken out.

Was one of the darndest things I ever saw, that fencepost went clear through the vehicle, through the motor – not BY it – THROUGH IT! –  and came out the opposite side of the grill.  Fortunately no one was injured – except the vehicle! 🙂

No sooner did I get home and the auto club called back saying the customer was at the location I’d just been to. So I went back and sure enough, right where I’d parked previously to call the auto club, here’s the vehicle!

I pulled up to the car, got out and talked to the woman who was driving. There were two women and a man in the vehicle, women in the front, man in the back.

Upon pulling up on the scene, to our surprise, the vehicle well into the ditch was a hearse. It had plowed through the snowbank, not gone over it, so was good and stuck.
Accident caused by cell phone texting.

This head on collision clearly outlines why people should NOT be texting and driving. Initially they were not sure if the texting driver would survive, but he did. Fortunately for him, the other driver was not badly injured, but that is rarely the case.
