Car Rolls Multiple Times And Shatters A Power Pole, Gary Indiana

During a summer storm crews responded to a reported rollover with entrapment and injuries on 5th ave. On arrival crews found a Nipsco pole sheared and the driver of a vehicle trapped. After a short extrication she was freed and transported to North Lake Methodist. Multiple people reported the vehicle flipped at least 3 times before coming to rest in a parking lot.

That pole is kept upright by its wires alone. Damn. And how did the driver flip the car three times?

[mabas21]

All I know is the woman blew the red light and got t-bonned. I am guessing speed played a factor on the car flipping multiple times or skill
