That was very lucky , right outside the police station as well. (I think that's the building in the background) Someone must have been heading south and missed the usual traffic queue at the lights...Defender 90 CSW MY06

If you look at the extreme left there seems to be a car resting on the pole, which looks like a tall lighting stand. I got the impression that this vehicle hit the lamp from the left, making it fall into the path of the Disco....
Of course I wasn't there so it's only my best guess, more details might appear in their local paper?
Just opened the link..... Doh!

Clucking bell !
The outcome of that doesent bare thinking about !
I can't make out if that's the front end of a Ford mucas or the back end of an R8 ?
Or a 911 C4S ?
Either way, I bet they didn't get a lamp post threaded thro the vehicles interior !Only dead fish go with the Flow !

Does not look like a LHD tax disc etc are on the left hand side which suggests it is a RHD.

Looks like a LHD tbh ...If you zoom in you can see what looks very much like the top of a steering wheel on the right of the the windscreen 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021
Steering wheel looked to be on LHS. I'm guessing that the black post visible at the rear is the C pillar shifted rearwards?Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana
