In the USA, a Dodge Charger wanted to overtake the man in front.
But the maneuver went terribly wrong: the driver loses control and mows down a power pole.
Videos of spectacular accidents (such as a Kia overturning) are very popular on the Internet.
Fortunately, nothing escapes the numerous dashcams worldwide.
Even if things don't always go right.
A particularly spectacular clip of a failed overtaking maneuver from the USA has once again become a hit on social media.
Dodge Charger drives around power pole: overtaking maneuver goes completely wrong
The approximately twelve-second video shows how a white Dodge Charger starts to overtake the man in front (who is filming the whole thing) just before a curve.
Brave in itself, after all, another car could come towards him.
The driver of the Dodge probably also expects this and is accordingly on the road quickly.

Just a little too fast.
You can see how the Dodge Charger brakes and apparently still gets the curve without any problems, but appearances are deceptive.
A few meters it comes as it has to come.
The sports car begins to understeer, starts to skid and finally crashes head-on into a power pole on the side of the road.

Dodge Charger crashes power pole: "It's terrifying!"
The rear of the Charger is thrown into the air by the force of the impact, tearing the power pole and cables to the ground.
This is possible because it is a mast made of wood.
A European power pole made of metal would probably have coped better with the accident.

However, it is not known whether the driver of the Dodge Charger was injured in the accident.
However, it is to be hoped that he and the driver of the vehicle from which the accident was filmed did not get out, but waited for the rescue services.
The power lines could still be live.
If you have to exit the vehicle, it is important that you jump out of the car and land with your feet close together.
However, if you touch the ground and the car at the same time, the current flows through your body.
And will likely end fatally.
The users on Reddit, who share the blame for the filming vehicle, are correspondingly shocked:
"Wow, I didn't expect the bar to just snap off like that."
“Cam Car is also racing.
Two assholes, only one got his karma.”
"I'll bet you $10 they got out of the car with the power lines down."
"This is really frightening."
"Wrong way to plug in the Charger!"
