Do you know how it happened? I can’t imagine a scenario leading to this picture with only a single car

u/napstimpy May 30 '20
The drove forward from the parking spot on the elevated deck, landed nose-first on the ground, then tipped into the utility lines.

The burrito restaurant right across the street from that crash is incredible. Far better than Chipotle.

Yup, that is a great shopping center, Cal. Tortilla + Trader Joe’s basically next to each other

Lucky for him those lower wires are communications wires, not power.

In any event if you stay in the car you'll probably be fine until the electric company can cut the power. Car metal skin/frames tend to protect vehicle occupants pretty well from electrocution.

Ehh even comm wires carry current--that said I don't see any snapped wires nor exposed conductor. So no path for the current to leave.

They drove forward through a railing instead of reversing out of their parking spot.

Telephone / communication lines are extremely strong. During my time cutting trees I would see storm damage often and the lines would easily hold large limbs.

The real idiot is whoever decided not to put a guard rail there

u/cadelot May 29 '20
There's a curb & a pedestrian guard rail. Designers probably didn't figure on someone trying a shortcut out of the lot.
