I hope the pole wasn't seriously damaged.

Thank you pole for protecting the citizens.

Who the hell installed that pole? Absolutely solid work👍

[vintagedashboard]

Well that was one dude that fixed his own problem with the police and didn’t harm anyone

[pedrofernandez]

Pole just saved taxpayers a bunch of money.

I like good endings.
The CRIMINALS bite the dust.

Perp: I'm not going back to prison. Utility Pole: So, you have chosen death.

[meangene]

Wow! That could’ve ended tragically. Thank god no innocent people were hurt, it doesn’t even look like the power was knocked out.

And the rest of society lived happily ever after.

Police deployed the pole stop device. Works every time.

That truck didn't hit the pole, it became the pole. 🤣🤣

He was just trying to get to class. He's a valedictorian. I swear.

It’s always a shame when someone meets their demise when they were just about to get their life turned around in the right direction. Minus the pole in front of them of course.

[budekins]

Well done pole - you will be remembered forever!

[errolflynn]

That truck obviously needed a hug and chose the pole.

[mdrailroad]

The pole did it's job I guess the family will sue the utility company

No matter what color the criminal use to be we all know what color he is now.

Judging by the impact, that is an extremely well manufactured American pole right there.

The driver's family said that he wasn't running from the police, he was just driving fast to get home and tell his mom that he was accepted by Harvard.
