Spotted Montreal North posted these photos Saturday of a police car that smashed into a metal street light pole at Henri Bourassa and Georges Pichet so violently that it tumbled down.The circumstances of the violent accident were unclear but that didn't stop several parties from insisting they knew how it happened.
One person commented that the police officer was not at all to blame, as the cop cruiser had put its siren on as it went through a red light but the left turning car proved blind or stupidly oblivious to what was happening.
Another person claimed to have been on a bus that was passing at that very moment.He noted that the woman driving was driving normally through a green light and that the police officer was recklessly speeding through the light in hot pursuit of something without taking proper precautions.
The rest of the discussion then degenerated into a discussion on whether Montreal drivers like to stop fully at stop signs and whether police rush to buy doughnuts.
But all agree: Awesome accident!..err ..assuming nobody was hurt, that is.
A similar incident occurred near a shopping center a few years back where a police car somehow swerved into and knocked down a metal pole bearing one of those "No trucks - excepte livraison locale" signs--no explanation provided.
