CRUNCH!

We get to hear plenty of traffic accidents around our area. We are close to the motorway and so the speeds are relatively high. On more than a few occasions we have been woken from our sleep by a long screech of a vehicle under brake lock up followed by a loud (and chilling) BANG! You can usually count the minutes, only 5 to 10 before you hear the ambulance siren on it's way.
Today was another such occasion. We were at the dinner table having a hotdog for lunch when we heard a scraping sound that was so loud it was like there was someone in our yard dragging something across the cement. A little stroll down the street identified the source of the noise. A truck that I estimate as hitting this unfortunate ute at about 70km/ph. The telegraph poles in Queensland are wooden and they DO NOT move when they get hit, which is not so good for anyone who has the misfortune of hitting one.
