Witnesses reported that the car had been traveling westbound on Alief-Clodine when the driver lost control of the vehicle, crossed the median, and made contact with the guide wire from the ground to the telephone pole, propelling the vehicle upward onto the wires.

Witnesses also reported that the driver jumped down from the vehicle and ran to catch a bus prior to the arrival of Engine 2 and the Harris County Sheriff's Department. The vehicle ran for over an hour until the oil had completely drained from the motor and it seized.
:lol

The other day I was picking up some Chili's and noticed some guy had landed his car like perfectly perpendicular inside this really recessed ditch. He was just standing outside his car with that "yep, I'm a dumb fuck" look on his face. It was hilarious. The road was wet and my guess is he managed to hydroplane his ass in there. I would've stopped and helped, but you know, the food...

Well, regardless of how it happened, upon closer examination, I see that another Ford Contour has been successfully removed from the road. This is good.

It looks like its Right in front of Elsik/Hastings High Schools (famous for being where Destiny's Child came from.)

Freaky, I dunno if I would be able to concentrate after seeing that.

You wouldn't say that if you had a SVT contour.

I think I've seen this before, but it was worth a repost.

I've seen a pic with a car wedged high up in a tree...could be fake, but looking at the above, you never know. :lol
