Wow, hope no one got hurt. Duramax --->telephone pole ouch! Looks like he got on the throttle at the last minute.

That one dark car that came down the hill, no brakes, he had the right idea.

I just drove thru there last week!

Rule #1. In those conditions, Stay in your Car!

I can't believe all the idiots walking around the sidewalks.

Rule #2 stay off the darn brakes. No rolly= No steery!

That D-max should have wheeled up onto that bank before the phone poll and he wouldn't be driving a rental right now.

Rule # 3 Always drive a good distance ahead of you, a glance down that street could have said: Do Not Proceed!

However, I wasn't on scene so I really should just be glad I avoided that mess all together!

It amazes me that so many people don't know to NEVER lock up the brakes! Pumping the brakes is your friend. That little dark car was a great example of keeping the tires rolling and you can usually avoid the crash.
