they drove down the side walk from right to left, between the building and poles. They tried to turn out and hit the pole which cause the back end to swing around towards the doors. Look at the skid marks from the real wheels and it points to some one mistaking the gas for the break |

he hit the pole to the left head on while driving fast toward to storefront. the resulting impact put all the force to the front, lifting the rear of the vehicle. hitting it at the right angle would give it the right trajectory to clear the middle post. |

no Phestizio. absolutely incorrect, but good thinking. this is just got pooty cars are made nowadays. crumple zones are nice and all but at least give them a real bumper for christs sake. the truck drove down the sidewalk, and for some reason turned right into the pole. obviously not at very high speeds or he couldnt have landed dead center on the truck |

OMG, this totally proves creationism! The ONLY explanation is that an "intelligent designer" *created* the car in such a way that it appears that it had an accident there.
...or the car just drove down the sidewalk really fast, made a sharp turn, and hit the pole. |

he drove into the pole at an angle with enough force to lift the back end of the truck up and due to the angle is spin over the two other pillars bending the middle sign and landing where it did.

It was actually the radiator. You can see the liquid from the front of the car :) |

Evil_Eye, he probably drove down the sidewalk and then steeres to the left into the pole, which also explains the force necessary to turn the car around. (hit the pole while turning left, back end gets weightless/lifts up a bit and the momentum makes the car turn) |

Evil eye. He drove down the sidewalk. Look at the skid marks. |

He didn't drive down the sidewalk, because the point of impact was too center. It would been more of a side swipe-spin-smash everything if on the sidewalk and very unlikely to be able to get up to enough speed to cause that much crumple.
The car lifted over on crash so far is the better one, only the pole doesn't have a lot of damage on it and the car isn't crumpled enough. To lift something that big high enough to clear the poles would be quite a high speed crash. Like... at a random guess, 100mph-ish? |

We'll never know for sure, but going by the wet patch on the ground* it looks like the last thing that happened was the driver pissed himself.
* How long, do you think, before Captain O comes along and points out that was actually the radiator? |

My guess is that the driver bought the truck inside the Wal-Mart. It's the compacted kind with the VERY CLEAR markings that say "DO NOT pull red activation pin inside of or within 50 feet of a building. Always place truck on the ground, in a proper parking spot for activation." The driver obviously couldn't wait to see his new truck (aren't we all that way sometimes), pulled the pin a little too soon.
Sort of like premature ejaculation, except, in this case, it was premature truckactivation. |

I think physics had nothing to do with this. It was clearly a blonde woman on a cell phone.

I think Sarah was the closest. My theory, is that the car hit the post, the force of the impact stood the car on it's nose. While on it's nose, it swings around the pole (missing the other poles) and then comes to rest in it's current position. |
