The Real Thing

There was nothing artificial about this accident, which occurred about two miles on the Gisborne side of Te Karaka recently. The car involved ran off the road and hit a power pole holding a transformer, which fractured and fell on the car's roof.

The picture was taken by Power Board faults electrician, Les Benge.
