Another what?
Another person electrocuted in the local area.
The pole apparently snapped and the high voltage ( maybe 11Kv ) lines fell to the ground.
So do we now ban poles with high voltage lines from any place that a car might be driven ?

He was off-roading.
Now, electricity poles don't grow like forests, they are not exactly close together. Yet this driver manages to drive into one. A blind man would find that difficult.
So the vehicle is sparking crackling & smoking, but the driver manages to get away. How lucky is that? Only the passenger cops it.

It was basically an RTA.
Can we look forward to more instances of you mindlessly posting about news reports mentioning any death or injury involving electricity even if the relevance to DIY electrical work is absolutely zero?
Yes you can Mr Sheds.
If this is the start of some strange mating ritual on your part perhaps I should warn you, I'm a straight batting sort of chap.

No doubt there are those who would call for that. Or maybe they'll start asking why the lines can't be RCD protected, as the RCD now seems to be considered the panacea for all known electrical ills.
You waste of space ***t.
No, it's not.If this is the start of some strange mating ritual on your part perhaps I should warn you, I'm a straight batting sort of chap.
I just don't see the relevance of posting details of car crashes on a DIY electrical advice forum.
Clearly you are incapable of grasping such difficult concepts though.

Oh you silver tongued devil.
Me too lol, it was back in 1995, Junction 4A ?. I was working for Birmingham Cable at the time. It brought the pylon down over the M6 and shut it. We saw the blockage and found another way home.
I've told this story to people, and no one would believe me !!

Can someone clarify for me if this is the same Mr Sheds who posted a picture of an attractive young lady peeing.
I bet he done a bit of DIY when he came across that pic.
A single high voltage cable laying on top of an un-damaged metal car will not present a serious risk of electric shock to people inside the car. The faraday cage effect ( try google ) protects people in the car from electric shock. They are after all in an area of equi-potentially bonded metal work.
Fire and other hazards will be a serious threat to life.
DO NOT TEST THIS THEORY
It is when they get out of the car and touch ground and part of the car at the same time that they are very likely to get zapped. An over eager first aider or rescuer who opens the door ( or tries to open it ) will also very likely get zapped.

My apologies - I hadn't realised that your post was a POTW humour type of thing.
You should have made it clear that we were supposed to laugh at the photo of the silly dead man.
