I saw the skidmarks this evening, and the brand new power pole. The skidmarks lead directly towards the new pole. There is a ditch, followed by a embankment directly in front of the pole. It looks as if the northbound car was flying, locked up the brakes, crossed the left lane, hit the embankment, got some initial air, and hit the pole. I assume the initial impact knocked the pole to a pretty steep angle, and the car slid up the pole and into the now-lowered lines.
